General information

Introduction

A GPON is a network of passive optical networks (PON) type. It is one of the most effective state-of-the-art solutions for the 'last mile' issue that significantly reduces the required amount of cable and provides data transfer with downstream rate up to 2.5 Gbps and upstream rate up to 1.25 Gbps. Being used in access networks, GPON-based solutions allow end users to have access to new services based on IP protocol in addition to more common ones.

The key GPON advantage is the use of one optical line terminal (OLT) for multiple optical network terminals (ONT). OLT converts Gigabit Ethernet and GPON interfaces and is used to connect a PON network with data communication networks of a higher level.

The range of OLT GPON equipment produced by Eltex comprises of LTP-4X/LTP-8X terminals with internal Ethernet switch with RSSI function and 4/8 GPON ports respectively.

This user manual describes purpose, main technical specifications, installation order, rules of configuration, monitoring, and software update for the devices.

  3. The device could be permanently used under the following conditions:
    • ambient temperature from -5 to +40 °C;
    • relative humidity up to 80 % at +25 °C;
    • atmosphere pressure from 6.0×104 to 10.7×104 Pa (from 450 to 800 mm Hg).
  4. The terminal should not be exposed to mechanical shock, vibration, smoke, dust, water, and chemicals.
  5. To avoid components overheating which may result in device malfunction, do not block air vents or place objects on the equipment.

Electrical safety requirements

  1. Prior to connecting the device to a power source, ensure that the equipment case is grounded with an earth bonding point. The earthing wire should be securely connected to the earth bonding point. The resistance between the earth bonding point and earthing busbar should be less than 0.1 Ω. Any PC and measurement instruments should be properly grounded prior to their connection to the terminal. The potential difference between the equipment case and the cases of the instruments should be less than 1 V.
  2. Prior to turning the device on, ensure that all cables are undamaged and securely connected.
  3. Make sure the device is off, when installing or removing the case.
  4. Power modules of LTP-X rev.B should be replaced only when the device is powered off. Follow the procedure in Terminal installation. Power modules of LTP-X rev.C/rev.D terminals can be installed and removed without powering the device off.
  5. Follow the instructions given in SFP transceivers replacement to install or remove SFP transceivers. This operation does not require the terminal to be turned off.

Terminal installation

Check the device for visible mechanical damage before installing and turning it on. In case of any damage, stop the installation, fill in a corresponding document and contact your supplier. If the terminal was exposed to low temperatures for a long time before installation, leave it for 2 hours at ambient temperature prior to operation. If the device was exposed to high humidity for a long time, leave it for at least 12 hours in normal conditions prior to turning it on.

Support brackets mounting
The delivery package includes support brackets for rack installation and mounting screws to fix the terminal case on the brackets. To install the support brackets:

  • Step 1. Align four mounting holes in the support bracket with the corresponding holes in the side panel of the device.
  • Step 2. Use a screwdriver to screw the support bracket to the case.
  • Step 3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the second support bracket.

Figure 9 — Support brackets mounting

Terminal rack installation
To install the terminal to the rack:

  • Step 1. Attach the terminal to the vertical guides of the rack.
  • Step 2. Align mounting holes in the support bracket with the corresponding holes in the rack guides. Use the holes of the same level on both sides of the guides to ensure the device horizontal installation.
  • Step 3. Use a screwdriver to screw the terminal to the rack. 

Figure 10 — Device rack installation

The terminal is horizontally ventilated. The side panels have air vents. Do not block the air vents to avoid components overheating and subsequent terminal malfunction.

To avoid overheating and provide necessary ventilation of the terminal, sufficient space should be provided above and below the terminal, not less than 10 cm.

Power module installation

Depending on power supply requirements, the LTP-4X/8X rev.B terminals can be supplemented with either an AC power module, 220 V, 50 Hz, or a DC power module, 48 V. Location of the power module is shown in Figure 11.


Figure 11 — Power module installation

The LTP-4X rev.C/rev.D and LTP-8X rev.C/rev.D terminals can use one or two power modules. The second power module installation is necessary when greater reliability is required. In case of using two power modules, it is allowed to use different power plants for supplying (with different voltage).


Figure 12 — Power module installation for LTP rev.C/rev.D

From the electric point of view, both places for power module installation are identical. In the context of device operation, the power module located closer to the edge is considered as the main module, and the one closer to the centre — as the backup module. Power modules can be inserted and removed without powering the device off. When additional power module is inserted or removed, the terminal continues operation without reboot.
To install a power module:

  • Step 1. Install the power module into the socket shown in Fig. 11 or Fig. 12.
  • Step 2. Screw the module to the case.
  • Step 3. Follow the instructions in Terminal installation to power on.

The device installation order:

  • Step 1. Mount the device. In case of installation to a 19" form-factor rack, mount the support brackets from the delivery package to the rack.
  • Step 2. Ground the case of the device. This should be done prior to connecting the device to the power supply. An insulated multiconductor wire should be used for earthing. The device grounding process and the earthing wire section should comply with Electric Installation Code. The earth bonding point is located on the rear panel, see Figure 5, Figure 6 and Figure 7.
  • Step 3. If you intend to connect a PC or another device to the switch console port, the device must be properly grounded as well.
  • Step 4. Connect the power supply cable to the device.
  • Step 5. Turn the device on and check the front panel LEDs to make sure the terminal is in normal operating conditions.

Getting started with the terminal

Connecting to the terminal CLI

This chapter describes various connection methods for Command Line Interface (CLI) of the terminal.

A serial port (hereafter — COM port) is recommended to use for the initial configuration of the terminal.

Connecting to CLI via COM port

This type of connection requires PC either to have an integrated COM port or to be supplied with an USB-COM adapter cable. The PC should also have a terminal program installed, e. g. Hyperterminal.

  • Step 1. Use the null modem cable from the delivery package to connect the console port of the terminal to the PC COM port as shown in figure below.

Connecting to CLI via Telnet protocol

The Telnet protocol connection is more universal than the connection via COM port. Connection to CLI can be established directly at the terminal location or via an IP network with the help of a remote desktop.

This section considers direct connection to CLI at the terminal location. Remote connection is similar, but requires changes in the terminal IP address that will be considered in detail in the Network Settings section.

In order to be connected to the terminal, a PC should have a Network Interface Card (NIC). Additionally you will need a network cable (Patching Cord RJ-45) of the required length, as it is not included in the
terminal delivery package.

  • Step 1. Connect one end of the network cable to any "GE Port" or "Combo GE" port of the terminal. Connect another end to NIC on the PC as shown in the figure below.

image037.png

Figure 14 — Connecting the terminal to a PC via network cable

  • Step 2. Assign IP settings for network connections. Set 192.168.1.1 as an IP address and 255.255.255.0 as a subnet mask.

Connecting to CLI via Secure Shell protocol

Secure Shell connection (SSH) has functionality similar to the Telnet protocol. However, as opposed to Telnet, Secure Shell encrypts all traffic data, including passwords. This enables secure remote connection via public IP networks.

This section considers direct connection to CLI at the terminal location. Remote connection is similar, but requires changes in the terminal IP address that will be considered in detail in the Network Settings section.

In order to be connected to the terminal, a PC should have a Network Interface Card (NIC). The PC should have an SSH client installed, e. g. PuTTY. Additionally you will need a network cable (Patching Cord RJ-45) of the required length, as it is not included in the terminal delivery package.

  • Step 1. Perform steps 1 and 2 from the Connecting to CLI via COM port section.
  • Step 2. Run PuTTY. Enter IP address of the terminal. The factory setting for the IP address is 192.168.1.2. Select port 22 and SSH protocol type. Click <Open>.

Getting started with terminal CLI

CLI is the main means of communication between user and the terminal. This chapter considers general operations in CLI: commands grouping, automatic code completion, and history.

CLI views hierarchy

Views are used in the terminal CLI to group commands and optimize their length.

Figure 18 shows a graphic chart of main views and the commands to switch between them.

 
Figure 18 — CLI mode hierarchy

  • The Top view includes general commands, which refer to the device in general. For example: view terminal parameters, firmware update, reboot, etc.;
  • The Switch configure view groups commands related to the switch: VLAN, GE interfaces, LACP and others;
  • The Configure view is a list of terminal configuration commands. E.g. user management, services configuration, GPON interface and ONT configuration, profile configuration, etc.


Figure 19 — Switch view hierarchy


 
Figure 20 — Configure view hierarchy

Figure 20 shows the Configure view, which consists of four parts:

  • The GPON-port view is used to configure GPON interfaces;
  • The ONT view is used to configure the ONT;
  • ONT configuration templates are modified in the ONT template view;
  • The profile of the terminal configuration is configured in the Profile view.

CLI hotkeys

In order to speed up the operations with the command line, the following hotkeys have been added:

Hotkey

Result

Ctrl+C

Termination of the current operation; clear line

Ctrl+D

Transition up one level

Ctrl+Z

Transition to root section

Ctrl+A

Transition to the beginning of line

Ctrl+E

Transition to the end of line

Ctrl+U

Removal of characters to the left of a cursor

Ctrl+К

Removal of characters to the right of a cursor

Ctrl+W

Remove a word

Ctrl+B

Transition of a cursor one position backwards

Ctrl+F

Transition of a cursor one position ahead

CLI automatic command completion

In order to make work with CLI faster and easier, an automatic command completion is implemented. A good knowledge of CLI command system allows user to work with CLI as fast as with graphical interface.

For example, enter the ex command in the Top view and press <Tab>.

LTP-8X# ex<Tab> 
LTP-8X# exit

As this view has only one command with the ex prefix, CLI automatically completes it.

If there are several commands with this prefix, CLI shows hints with possible options.

LTP-8X# co<Tab> 
commit configure copy 
LTP-8X# con<Tab> 
LTP-8X# configure

CLI command history

Sometimes it might be necessary to execute the same set of operations several times. To make the work with repeating commands easier, the terminal CLI keeps the command history.

The list of previously entered commands can be displayed by using the show history command.

LTP-8X# show history 
Last CLI commands: 
show version 
configure terminal 
exit 
show history
LTP-8X#

Use the <Up> and <Down> cursor keys to scroll the command history and the <Enter> key to execute the selected command.

LTP-8X# <Up> 
LTP-8X# show management <Up> 
LTP-8X# switch <Up> 
LTP-8X# exit <Up> 
LTP-8X# show uptime <Enter> 
up 1 day, 23:44

Group operations

Group operations can be performed on such terminal configuration objects as interfaces and ONT. It is especially convenient, when you have to apply the same actions to multiple objects.

To perform a group operation, select the range of object IDs instead of one object ID. This feature is supported by a majority of CLI commands.

For example, enable fec for all ONTs in a certain channel.

LTP-8X(config)# interface ont 0/0-127 
LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/0-127)# fec

Or view the list of active ones in the first 4 GPON channels.

LTP-8X# show interface ont 0-3 ont online 

GPON-port 0 has no online ONTs
GPON-port 1 has no online ONTs
GPON-port 2 has no online ONTs
GPON-port 3 has no online ONTs

Total ONT count: 0

Configuring the terminal

Terminal configuration

A collection of all terminal settings is referred to as configuration. This chapter provides information on the parts which configuration consists of. It also defines lifecycle of configuration and describes main operations, which can be performed.

Configuration structure

The terminal configuration can be conventionally divided into 3 parts. Figure below shows the configuration structure.

 
Figure 21 — Terminal configuration structure

System is a general system part. This group includes such settings as: network, service settings, user table, etc.
Switch represents a switch configuration. This group includes configuration parameters for Ethernet interfaces of the front panel, as well as VLAN settings.
GPON contains 5 subparts:

  • OLT — GPON OLT and GPON interface settings;
  • OLT profiles — OLT profile part consists of address table profiles, VLAN profiles, DHCP RA and PPPoE IA profiles;
  • ONT — ONT configuration base;
  • ONT templates — ONT templates;
  • ONT profiles — ONT profiles.

Configuration lifecycle

The terminal configuration may have the following states:

  • RUNNING— active configuration. It refers to the current configuration of the terminal;
  • CANDIDATE— an edited configuration;
  • NVRAM — a configuration stored in non-volatile memory. This configuration will be used as RUNNING after the device is loaded.

The RUNNING configuration is loaded to a new CLI session and becomes available for review (CANDIDATE). After changing the configuration (CANDIDATE) in the CLI session, user can either enter the commit command to accept the changes or use the rollback command to discard the changes and apply the current (RUNNING) configuration. The save command saves the RUNNING configuration into NVRAM of the terminal.
Figure below shows a chart of configuration lifecycle.


Figure 22 — Configuration lifecycle of the terminal diagram

Configuration autosave

In some cases, for example, when several operators are working on the terminal or the terminal is automatically configured through OSS/BSS, it may be convenient to organize a centralized saving of the configuration into NVRAM at a specified time or at a specified time interval. The terminal allows this with the help of a configuration autosave mechanism.

For daily autosave of the configuration, define a time when autosave should be implemented.

LTP-8X(config)# config autosave hour 3 minute 44

For autosave at specified time intervals, define the interval in seconds.

LTP-8X(config)# config autosave period 3600

Check the entered data by using the do show config command.

LTP-4X(config)# do show config 
	Config: 
		Daily autosave: at 03:44 
		Periodic autosave: every 3600 seconds 
	   LTP-4X(config)#

For disabling a mode, use the no command.

LTP-4X(config)# no config autosave hour 
LTP-4X(config)# no config autosave period

Apply the changes.

LTP-8X(config)# do commit

Creating a configuration backup

Configuration backups allow the terminal operation to be quickly restored after abnormal situations or replacement. Manual or triggered (on events) creation of backups is recommended at a regular basis.

Terminal configuration is uploaded to a TFTP server which is available in the management network. The copy command is used to upload the data. Pass the uploaded terminal configuration fs://config and destination URI as parameters.

LTP-8X# copy fs://config tftp://192.168.1.1/config 
Upload backup file to TFTP-server..

  Configure a triggered upload to create backups automatically.

  • Step 1. Go to the configure view and select the URI of the configuration backup.

    LTP-8X# configure terminal 
    LTP-8X(config)# backup uri tftp://192.168.1.1/config
  • Step 2. The terminal can be adjusted to upload configuration every time the configuration is saved if necessary.

    LTP-8X(config)# backup on save
  • Step 3. The terminal can be adjusted to use a timer for configuration upload if necessary. In this case, additionally set the timer period in seconds.

    LTP-8X(config)# backup on timer
    LTP-8X(config)# backup timer period 3600
  • Step 4. Check the entered data by using the do show backup command. 

    LTP-8X(config)# do show backup 
    Tftp:
    		Backup on conf save: enabled
    		Backup on timer: enabled
    		Backup on timer period: 3600
    		Backup uri: ’tftp://192.168.1.1/config’

  • Step 5. Apply the changes. 

    LTP-8X(config)# do commit
    

Configuration restore

The terminal configuration is restored from the TFTP/FTP/HTTP server which is available in the management network. The copy command is used to restore the data. Define source URI as parameter and fs://config as restored configuration.

LTP-8X# copy tftp://10.0.105.1/config fs://config 
	Download file from TFTP-server.. 
	Reading of the configuration file.. 
	Configuration have been successfully restored (all not saved changes was lost)

Configuration reset

To reset a terminal configuration to factory settings, use the default command.

LTP-8X# default 
	Do you really want to set up default configuration? (y/n) y 
	Configuration have been reseted to default. 

	Terminal will be reloaded.

Resetting a configuration of a remote terminal also resets network settings. The terminal will not be available for operation until the network settings are reconfigured.

Network settings

This chapter describes adjustment of network settings for the terminal. Adjusting network settings enables remote control and integration with OSS/BSS systems.

Network parameters configuration

It is recommended to adjust network settings via COM port connection. This will prevent issues with connection loss upstream the terminal being adjusted. Be very careful when using remote adjustment.

  • Step 1. Use the show management command to view the current network settings.

    LTP-8X# show management 
    Network:
    	Hostname: ’LTP-8X’
    	Ipaddr: 192.168.1.2
    	Netmask: 255.255.255.0
    	Vlan management: 1
    	Gateway: 0.0.0.0
    	Vlan prio: 7
    	Dscp: 63
    	Additional vlan: <list is empty>
  • Step 2. Switch to the configure view. Set the terminal name by using the hostname command.

    LTP-8X# configure terminal 
    LTP-8X(config)# hostname LTP-8X-1
  • Step 3. Set the terminal IP address by using the management ip command.

    LTP-8X(config)# management ip 10.0.0.1
  • Step 4. Set the subnet mask by using the management mask command.

    LTP-8X(config)# management mask 255.0.0.0
  • Step 5. Set the default gateway by using the management gateway command.

    LTP-8X(config)# management gateway 10.0.0.254
  • Step 6. Set the management VLAN of the terminal by using the management vid command if necessary. Use the management cos command to set the P-bit parameter for the management VLAN.

    LTP-8X(config)# management vid 9 
    LTP-8X(config)# management cos 5

    Proper operation of the inband management function requires VLAN adjustment in the switch view as described in VLAN configuration.

  • Step 7. Set MAC address aging time by using the gpon network mac-age-time command.

    Pass the time in seconds as a parameter.

    LTP-8X(config)# gpon network mac-age-time 7200
  • Step 8. The network settings will change as soon as the configuration is applied. No terminal reboot is needed.

    LTP-8X(config)# do commit

User management

This chapter is devoted to management of the terminal users.

The factory settings provide only one user, i. e. the device administrator.


login: admin
password: password


When starting to configure the terminal, it is recommended to change the password of the 'admin' user.

For security reasons, there is a strictly defined set of permissions, which can be delegated to terminal users. For these purposes, each user gets his own level of privileges. Level 0 corresponds to a minimum set of permissions, Level 15 — to a maximum set of permissions.

CLI commands are ranked by the level of privileges. Level 0 commands are available to all users. Level 15 commands are available only to Level 15 users. Thus, the level of commands available to a user does not exceed the user's level.

The levels of privileges can be modified as required.

  • Step 1. Check the current settings of privileges by using the show privileges command.

    LTP-8X# show privileges
    		Level 			Privileges 
     
    		0				!, exit 
     
    		1				view-ont

    						config-system, config-general
    						config-gpon, config-ont
    						ont-operation, config-ont-profile
    						config-switch-interfaces
  • Step 2. Switch to the configure view. Set the required permissions corresponding to the level by using the privilege command, e. g. set permissions allowing Level 1 to view configuration of the internal switch.

    LTP-8X# configure terminal 
    LTP-8X(config)# privilege 1 view-switch
  • Step 3. Settings of privileges will be applied immediately. No terminal reboot is needed.

    LTP-8X(config)# do commit

User list preview

To view the list of terminal users, enter the show users config command.

LTP-8X(config)# do show users config 
    ##                Name      Privilege
     1                root           15
     2               admin           15
     3              remote           15

The admin, root and remote users always exist and cannot be deleted or duplicated. The terminal supports up to 16 users.

Adding a new user

In order to operate effectively and safely, the terminal, as a rule, requires one or several additional users. To add a new user, enter the user command in the configure view.

LTP-8X(config)# user operator
LTP-8X(config)# do show users config 
    ##                Name      Privilege
     1                root           15
     2               admin           15
     3              remote           15
     4            operator            0
LTP-8X(config)#

Pass the name of the new user to the user command as a parameter. The name should not be longer than 32 characters. The name should not contain special characters.

Changing user password

To change user password, enter the user command. Pass the user name and a new password as parameters.

LTP-8X(config)# user operator password newpassword

The password should not be longer than 31 characters and shorter than 8 characters. If the password contains a space, use quotations for the password.

Viewing and changing user access rights

To manage user access rights, a user priority system is implemented. A newly created user is granted with a minimal set of permissions.

LTP-8X(config)# user operator
LTP-8X(config)# do show users config 
    ##                Name      Privilege
     1                root           15
     2               admin           15
     3              remote           15
     4            operator            0
LTP-8X(config)#

To change the user priority level, enter the user command. Pass the user name and a new priority as parameters.

LTP-8X(config)# user operator priviledge 15
LTP-8X(config)# do show users config 
    ##                Name      Privilege
     1                root           15
     2               admin           15
     3              remote           15
     4            operator           15
LTP-8X(config)#

Deleting a user

To delete a user, enter the no user command in the configure view. Pass the user name as a parameter.

LTP-8X# configure terminal 
LTP-8X(config)# no user operator

ААА configuration

This chapter describes configuring of services and protocols related to authentication, authorization and accounting.

Hereafter, the term 'authorization' means authorization of the commands — definning rights for executing commands on a remote server.

Authorization of a user — a process of obtaining a specified permission set, combined with authentication process.

LTP-X supports radius and tacacs+ AAA protocols. Below is a table of the functionality of these protocols.

Configuring servers

The principles of servers configuration are common for supported protocols. You can configure an IP address, key, response timeout and a data exchange port for each server. You can set up to 3 servers for the RADIUS. The LTP will apply to the servers according to their priorities. If the priority is not set, the 0 priority (the highest) will be used by default.

  • Step 1. Configure IP address of radius/tacacs+ server.

    LTP-8X# configure terminal 
    LTP-8X(config)# radius-server host 10.10.10.1 priority 0 
    LTP-8X(config)# radius-server host 10.10.10.2 priority 1 
    LTP-8X(config)# radius-server host 10.10.10.3 priority 2 
    LTP-8X(config)# tacacs-server host 10.10.10.4
  • Step 2. Define an encryption key used while data exchange with the server.

    LTP-8X(config)# radius-server key 12345678-r0 
    LTP-8X(config)# radius-server key 12345678-r1 priority 1 
    LTP-8X(config)# radius-server key 12345678-r2 priority 2 
    LTP-8X(config)# tacacs-server key 12345678

  • Step 3. Define server response timeout.

    LTP-8X(config)# radius-server timeout 3 
    LTP-8X(config)# radius-server timeout 3 priority 1 
    LTP-8X(config)# radius-server timeout 3 priority 2 
    LTP-8X(config)# tacacs-server timeout 3
  • Step 4. Define a port for data exchange with the server (if necessary). 

    LTP-8X(config)# radius-server port 50005 
    LTP-8X(config)# radius-server port 50006 priority 1 
    LTP-8X(config)# radius-server port 50007 priority 2 
    LTP-8X(config)# tacacs-server port 50008
  • Step 5. Apply the changes.

    LTP-8X(config)# do commit

AAA methods configuration

By default, every AAA function is implemented locally — local user data base is used for authentication and authorization, accounting via a remote server is disabled.

For using of configured in previous steps servers, define a method of a function performing.

  • Step 1. Select an authentication method.

    LTP-8X# configure terminal 
    LTP-8X(config)# aaa authentication radius
  • Step 2. Select an authorization method.

    LTP-8X# configure terminal 
    LTP-8X(config)# aaa authorization tacacs+
    
  • Step 3. Select a CLI session start/stop accounting method.

    LTP-8X# configure terminal 
    LTP-8X(config)# aaa accounting start-stop radius
  • Step 4. Select a method of commands accounting.

    LTP-8X# configure terminal 
    LTP-8X(config)# aaa accounting commands tacacs+

  • Step 5. Apply the changes.

    LTP-8X(config)# do commit

    In order to disable a function, use the no command.

    LTP-8X# configure terminal 
    LTP-8X(config)# no aaa accounting commands
    

In case server configured for a function unavailable or key is not defined properly, the function will be implemented locally.

Services configuration

This chapter describes configuration of integrated terminal services.

SNMPD configuration

To work with the Eltex.EMS management system, the terminal should be configured to work with Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

  • Step 1. Switch to the configure view.

    LTP-8X# configure terminal
    
  • Step 2. Enable the SNMP agent of the terminal by using the snmp enable command.

    LTP-8X(config)# ip snmp enable
  • Step 3. Enable ACL check by using the snmp access-control command if necessary. Add the record into the whitelist by using the snmp allow command. Pass the IP address of the host which will be used to connect to the SNMP agent, as a parameter.

    LTP-8X(config)# ip snmp access-control 
    LTP-8X(config)# ip snmp allow ip 192.168.1.13
  • Step 4. Configure SNMP trap replication to allow the management system to receive the traps. For example, add 2 replicators and specify to send v2 SNMP traps to 192.168.1.13 and v1 traps to 192.168.1.113. To do this, use the ip snmp traps command. 

    It is possible to configure several receivers of SNMP traps of the same version.

    LTP-8X(config)# ip snmp traps 192.168.1.13 type v2 
    LTP-8X(config)# ip snmp traps 192.168.1.113 type v1

  • Step 5. Check the entered data by using the show ip snmp command.

    LTP-8X(config)# do show ip snmp 
        Snmp:
            Enabled:                                  true
            Access control:                           false
            Allow ip:                                 <list is empty>

            EngineID:                                 0x6C2A20B42CB28232FABEA8EE19
            Users:                                    <for showing use separate command>
  • Step 6. The settings of the SNMP agent change as soon as the configuration is applied.

    No terminal reboot is needed.

    LTP-8X(config)# do commit

The types and purpose of SNMP traps are closely connected with the log of active alarms.

You need to configure users to operate with SNMPv3. 

  • Step 1. Set the version of SNMP agent to 3.

    LTP-8X(config)# ip snmp version v3
  • Step 2. Add users and set the privilege levels.

    LTP-8X(config)# ip snmp user "rwuser" auth-password "rwpass" enc-password "rwencr" access rw 
    LTP-8X(config)# ip snmp user "rouser" auth-password "ropass" enc-password "roencr" access ro

  • Step 3. Check the configuration.

    LTP-8X(config)# do show ip snmp users 
       SNMP users
       ~~~~~~~~~~
    
    User name                          permissions
    --------------------               ---------------
    rwuser                             read-write
    rouser                             read-only
    
    2 SNMP users.
    

The SNMPv3 agent supports authNoPriv and authPriv methods. The encryption of the password performs according to the MD5 algorithm.

NTPD configuration

The terminal has no integrated real-time clocks with a battery. For the events in system log to show correct time and for automated operations to be performed in time, time synchronisation should be adjusted with the help of the NTP protocol.

  • Step 1. Switch to the configure view.

    LTP-8X# configure terminal
  • Step 2. Enable time synchronisation by using the ip ntp enable command. Specify the IP address to be used for synchronisation in the ip ntp ip command.

    LTP-8X(config)# ip ntp enable 
    LTP-8X(config)# ip ntp ip 192.168.1.254
  • Step 3. Specify the synchronisation interval in seconds by using the ip ntp interval command.

    LTP-8X(config)# ip ntp interval 3600
  • Step 4. Use the ip ntp timezone and ip ntp daylightsaving commands to set the time zone of your region and indicate whether it should be switched to the daylight-saving time.

    LTP-8X(config)# ip ntp timezone 7 
    LTP-8X(config)# ip ntp daylightsaving

  • Step 5. Check the entered data by using the do show ip ntp command. 

    LTP-8X(config)# do show ip ntp 
        Ntp:
            Enabled:                                       true
            Ntpserver:                                     192.168.1.254
            Interval:                                      3600
            Timezone:                                      7
            Daylightsaving:                                true
    LTP-8X(config)#
  • Step 6. Apply the configuration by using the commit command. 

    LTP-8X(config)# do commit

LOGD configuration

System log collects terminal history data and allows its further display. Adjustment of system log operates with such terms as module, filter level, and output device.

The emergency level is the maximum level, the debug level is the minimum one.

Enabling the debug logging level increases the load on the system produced by LOGD. It is not recommended to use debug mode unless necessary.

The log subsystem allows display of the terminal operation log on different devices. All output devices can be used simultaneously.

Table 13 — System log output device

Description

System log

system

The system log allows the log to be displayed locally or with the help of the syslog server.

Console

console

Being used for log display, the console allows system messages to be visible as soon as they are received in the terminal connected to the Console port.

CLI sesions

rsh

Being used for log display, CLI sessions allow system messages to be visible as soon as they are received in all CLI sessions connected via telnel or SSH.

File

file

Logging into a file allows system messages to be written directly to the file, which can be sent to support specialists for further analysis.

The log is saved in non-volatile memory by default. The system has 4 log rotated files of 1M each. The last 3 logs are archived to gzip.

Module configuration

Consider module configuration by the example of the pmchal-gpon module responsible for messages from the GPON subsystem. Other modules have similar configuration process.

  • Step 1. Set the logging level using the logging module pmchal-gpon loglevel command.

    LTP-8X(config)# logging module pmchal-gpon loglevel info
  • Step 2. To view information about modules, use the do show logging module pmchal-gpon command.

    LTP-8X(config)# do show logging module pmchal-gpon
        Log:
            Submodule [pmchal-gpon]:
                Log level:                                     notice
    LTP-8X(config)#
  • Step 3. Apply the configuration by using the commit command.

    LTP-8X(config)# do commit

Configuring command logging to syslog

The system is capable to record all the user's commands to syslog. Use the following command to activate the function.

LTP-8X(config)# logging commands

Configuring the Origin parameter

The system can add an additional origin-id parameter to messages sent to the Syslog server. It will be added to the beginning of the log message.

Only one additional parameter can be used at a time.

LTP-8X(config)# logging origin-id 
   hostname      The sysname will be used as the hostname field of a
                 syslog message
   string        The user defined string will be used as the hostname
                 field of syslog header
   ip            The IP address of the sending interface will be used
                 as the hostname field of a syslog message

Configuring the log storage

Use the following command to record logs to non-volatile memory.

LTP-8X(config)# logging permanent

If you add "no" before the command, the logs will be recorded to RAM. In this case, the logs will be erased after reboot.

System log configuration

  • Step 1. Use the logging buffer command to specify the memory size in bytes to be used for system log storage.

    LTP-8X(config)# logging buffer 262144
  • Step 2. If necessary, use the logging remote command to specify the IP address of the remote Syslog server to be used to display system log.

    LTP-8X(config)# logging remote 192.168.1.43

  • Step 3. Configure the output devices by using the logging command.

    Every output device may have its own filtering level or have the output disabled.

    For example, it is possible to change the display level for the CLI sessions, which are not connected via the RS-232 console port, to "info" and disable output to file.

    LTP-8X(config)# logging rsh loglevel info 
    LTP-8X(config)# logging file loglevel none
  • Step 4. To view Syslog configuration, use the do show logging settings command.

    LTP-8X(config)# do show logging settings 
        Log:
            Remote syslog:                                 192.168.1.30
            Remote syslog:                                 192.168.1.31
            Remote syslog:                                 192.168.1.55:520
            Remote syslog:                                 192.168.1.33
            Size:                                          16384
            Save logs between boots:                       true
            Log input commands:                            false
            Destinations:
                System:                                    notice
                Console:                                   notice
                Remote shells:                             info
                File:                                      none
    
  • Step 5. Apply the configuration by using the commit command. 

    LTP-8X(config)# do commit

Every record in the active alarms log has the parameters specified in Table 15 that are specified for every event type.

Table 15 — Parameters of events in the active alarms log

Token

Description

severity

Describes event severity. Has four statuses (info, minor, major, critical)

send-on-in

Specifies whether an SNMP trap should be sent when an event is added to the log. Has two states (true/false)

send-on-out

Specifies whether an SNMP trap should be sent when an event is deleted from the log. Has two states (true/false)

ttl

The time an event exists in the active alarms log (from 1 to 2,147,483,647). Specified in seconds. The parameter has several special values. 0 — the event exists in the log until a normalising event is received. –1 — an SNMP trap is sent (if specified), but the event is not recorded in the alarms log

Active alarms log configuration

  • Step 1. To configure the active alarms log, switch to the configure view.

    LTP-8X# configure terminal
  • Step 2. Use the alarm command to specify the necessary event parameters. Event types are listed in Table 14, the parameters and possible values are given in Table 15.

    LTP-8X(config)# alarm temperature severity critical 
    LTP-8X(config)# alarm temperature in 
    LTP-8X(config)# alarm temperature out 
    LTP-8X(config)# alarm temperature ttl 0
  • Step 3. Apply the changes by using the do commit command.

    LTP-8X(config)# do commit

VLAN Configuration

This chapter describes VLAN configuration in the terminal switch.

VLAN ( Virtual Local Area Network) is a group of devices, which communicate on the channel level and are combined into a virtual network, connected to one or more network devices (GPON terminals or switches). VLAN is a very important tool for creating a flexible and configurable logical network topology over the physical topology of a GPON network. VLAN has two or more switch interfaces. A VLAN member interface can be either tagged or untagged. An outgoing packet of a tagged interface has a VLAN tag. An outgoing packet of an untagged interface has no VLAN tags. For more information about the configuration and rules of operation of interfaces, see the FW 3.48.0 OLT LTP-8X, LTP-4X. User manual#VLAN Configuration.

Adding VLAN

  • Step 1. VLAN is configured in the terminal switch. Use the switch and configure commands consecutively to switch to the config view.

    LTP-8X# switch 
    LTP-8X(switch)# configure terminal
    LTP-8X(switch)(config)#
  • Step 2. Add a VLAN by using the vlan command. Pass VID as a parameter.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# vlan 5 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-vlan)#

CLI automatically switches view to work with the VLAN. The same command is used to configure existing VLANs.

VLAN Configuration

  • Step 1. Add tagged interfaces by using the tagged command. Pass interface type and number (or a range) as parameters. The interface types and numbers are given in Table 19, in the Interface configuration section.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config-vlan)# tagged pon-port 0 – 1
  • Step 2. Add untagged interfaces by using the untagged command if needed. Pass interface type and number (or a range) as parameters.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config-vlan)# untagged front-port 1
  • Step 3. Delete all unnecessary interfaces from the VLAN by using the forbidden command. Pass interface type and number (or a range) as parameters.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config-vlan)# forbidden 10G-front-port 0 – 1 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-vlan)# forbidden front-port 0 , front-port 2 , front-port 3
  • Step 4. Disable IGMP snooping by using the no ip igmp snooping enable command if needed. 

    LTP-8X(switch)(config-vlan)# no ip igmp snooping enable
  • Step 5. Configure the IGMP querier if needed. It can be enabled by using the ip igmp snooping querier enable command.

    The fast-leave mode is enabled by using the ip igmp snooping querier fast-leave command. By default, this mode is disabled.
    DSCP and 802.1P marking for IGMP query is configured by using the ip igmp snooping querier user-prio and ip igmp snooping querier dscp commands.
    The upstream IGMP packet source IP address spoofing is configured by using the ip igmp snooping replace source-ip command.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config-vlan)# ip igmp snooping querier enable 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-vlan)# ip igmp snooping querier fast-leave 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-vlan)# ip igmp snooping querier user-prio 4 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-vlan)# ip igmp snooping querier dscp 40
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-vlan)# ip igmp snooping replace source-ip 192.168.21.2
  • Step 6. Configure IGMP if needed.

    Compatible versions (v1, v2, v3, or their combination):

    LTP-8X(switch)(config-vlan)# ip igmp version v2-v3

    Interval between queries:

    LTP-8X(switch)(config-vlan)# ip igmp query-interval 125

    Maximum query response time:

    LTP-8X(switch)(config-vlan)# ip igmp query-response-interval 10

    Interval between Group-Specific Queries:

    LTP-8X(switch)(config-vlan)# ip igmp last-member-query-interval 1

    Robustness:

    LTP-8X(switch)(config-vlan)# ip igmp robustness 2
  • Step 7. Disable MLD snooping by using the no ipv6 mld snooping enable command if needed.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config-vlan)# no ipv6 mld snooping enable
  • Step 8. Configure the MLD querier if needed. It can be enabled by using the ipv6 mld snooping querier enable command.

    The fast-leave mode is enabled by using the ipv6 mld snooping querier fast-leave command. By default, this mode is disabled.
    DSCP and 802.1P marking for MLD query is configured by means of the ipv6 mld snooping querier user-prio and ipv6 mld snooping querier dscp commands.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config-vlan)# ipv6 mld snooping querier enable 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-vlan)# ipv6 mld snooping querier fast-leave 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-vlan)# ipv6 mld snooping querier user-prio 4 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-vlan)# ipv6 mld snooping querier dscp 40
  • Step 9. Configure MLD if needed.

    Compatible versions (v1, v2):

    LTP-8X(switch)(config-vlan)# ipv6 mld version v1-v2

    Interval between queries:

    LTP-8X(switch)(config-vlan)# ipv6 mld query-interval 125

    Maximum query response time:

    LTP-8X(switch)(config-vlan)# ipv6 mld query-response-interval 10

    Interval between Group-Specific Queries:

    LTP-8X(switch)(config-vlan)# ipv6 mld last-member-query-interval 1

    Robustness:

    LTP-8X(switch)(config-vlan)# ipv6 mld robustness 2
  • Step 10. For further convenience, specify a VLAN name by using the name command. To clear the name, use the no name command. The default name is VID.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config-vlan)# name iptv
  • Step 11. Apply the configuration by using the commit command. 

    LTP-8X(switch)(config-vlan)# exit 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# commit

VLAN Deletion

  • Step 1. Delete a VLAN by using the no vlan command. Pass VID (or its range) as a parameter.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# no vlan 5

Configuring access control list and policy

ACL (Access Control List) — the table which defined filtering rules for incoming traffic according to data transmitted in the incoming packets: protocols, TCP/UDP ports, IP address or MAC address. The ACL based on IPv4 and MAC should have different names. You can set one type of the lists per interface. Each access list contains up to 20 rules.

Configuring MAC access-list

In a MAC access list, filtering is implemented according to the following criteria and a mask:

Table 16 — The list of MAC access-list criteria

Criteria

Mask 7 corresponds to one specific cos

Ethertype

Yes

permit any any vlan any cos any ethertype 0x0800 0xFF00

Mask 0x0000 corresponds to any

Mask 0xFF00 corresponds to the range 0x0800 - 0x08FF

Mask 0xFFFF corresponds to one specific ethertype

  • Step 1. Create a mac access-list.
LTP-8X# switch 
LTP-8X(switch)# configure terminal
LTP-8X(switch)(config)# mac access-list extended eltexsrc
  • Step 2. Configure rules and assign the list to a port.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config-mac-al)# deny A8:f9:4B:00:AA:00 FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:00 any 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-mac-al)# deny any any vlan any cos 7 7 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-mac-al)# permit A8:F9:4B:00:00:00 FF:FF:FF:00:00:00 any vlan 2 cos 4 4 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-mac-al)# exit 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# interface front-port 7 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-if)# service-acl mac eltexsrc 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-if)# exit 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# commit
  • Step 3. Check the access list configuration.

    LTP-8X(switch)# show access-list
    
    Extended MAC access list "eltexsrc"(#0), filters count: 3
        Rule 1 (deny):
             MAC SA         A8:F9:4B:00:AA:00 [FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:00]
        Rule 2 (deny):
             COS            7 [7]
        Rule 3 (permit):
             MAC SA         A8:F9:4B:00:00:00 [FF:FF:FF:00:00:00]
             Vlan           2
             COS            4 [4]

Configuring ACL based on a bit mask

The filtering based on a bit mask is available in MAC and IP access-lists. The configuration is implemented with the help of offset-list.

Command format:

offset-list list1 <offset-type> <offset> <byte-mask> <byte-value> ...

You can configure up to 5 unique offset-lists on the OLT.

        Rule 2 (permit):
             Offset-list    e2

Configuring policies

Configuring policies allows you to perform various manipulations on classified traffic, such as cos, dscp, queue setting.

  • Step 1. Create an access-list according to which the traffic will be classified.

    LTP-8X# switch 
    LTP-8X(switch)# configure terminal
    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# ip access-list extended sip-dhcp-acl 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-ip-al)# permit udp any 68 any 67 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-ip-al)# permit udp any any any 5060 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-ip-al)# exit
  • Step 2. Create a traffic class.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# class-map sip-dhcp-class 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-class 'sip-dhcp-class')# match access-group sip-dhcp-acl 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-class 'sip-dhcp-class')# exit

  • Step 3. Set policy.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# policy-map cos7 
    LTP-8X(switch)(policy-class 'cos7')# class sip-dhcp-class 
    LTP-8X(switch)(traffic-class 'sip-dhcp-class')# cos 7 
    LTP-8X(switch)(traffic-class 'sip-dhcp-class')# exit 
    LTP-8X(switch)(policy-class 'cos7')# exit 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# interface pon-port 0 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-if)# service-policy cos7 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-if)# exit 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# commit
  • Step 4. Check the configuration of the policy and classes.

    LTP-8X(switch)# show access-list 
    Extended IP access list "sip-dhcp-acl"(#8), filters count: 2
        Rule 1 (permit):
             IPv4 protocol  17 (UDP)
             Sport          68
             Dport          67
        Rule 2 (permit):
             IPv4 protocol  17 (UDP)
             Dport          5060
    LTP-8X(switch)# show interfaces acl pon-port 0
    Interface         MAC access-list              IP access-list                  Policy-map                      
    pon-port 0               -                           -                            cos7     

While the configuration, you should remember that deny in an ACL rule exclude the traffic from processing according to policy.

IGMP and MLD configuration in terminal switch

This chapter describes IGMP and MLD configuration in the terminal switch.

Enabling snooping

  • Step 1. Snooping is configured globally in the terminal switch. Execute the switch and configure commands consecutively to switch to the config view.

    LTP-8X# switch 
    LTP-8X(switch)# configure terminal
    LTP-8X(switch)(config)#
  • Step 2. Enable IGMP snooping by using the ip igmp snooping command.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# ip igmp snooping

  • Step 3. Enable MLD snooping by using the ipv6 mld snooping command.

    TP-8X(switch)(config)# ipv6 mld snooping
  • Snooping is globally enabled in all VLANs.
  • MLD snooping is not supported for Model 1.

Enabling report proxy

  • Step 1. Enable IGMP report proxy between VLANs by using the ip igmp proxy report enable command.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# ip igmp proxy report enable
  • Step 2. Set IGMP report proxy rules by using the ip igmp proxy report range command. As parameters, pass a range of acceptable groups and the proxy direction as a VID pair.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# ip igmp proxy report range 224.0.0.0 239.255.255.255 from 200 to 98
  • Step 3. Enable MLD report proxy between VLANs by using the ipv6 mld proxy report enable command.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# ipv6 mld proxy report enable
  • Step 4. Set MLD report proxy rules by using the ipv6 mld proxy report range command. As parameters, pass a range of acceptable groups and the proxy direction as a VID pair. 

    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# ipv6 mld proxy report range ff15:0::1 ff15:0::ffff from 300 to 98

To enable proxy from all VLANs, use the "from all to <VLAN>" structure.

Interface сonfiguration

This chapter describes configuration of terminal interfaces.

Terminal interfaces can be divided into two groups: Ethernet interfaces and GPON interfaces. Ethernet interfaces are used for terminal connection to operator's network core. GPON interfaces are used for ONT connections.

Ethernet interface configuration

  • Step 1. Switch to the view of the interface (of interface group), which settings should be changed.

    LTP-8X# switch 
    LTP-8X(switch)# configure terminal
    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# interface front-port 0 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-if)#
  • Step 2. Enable the interface by using the no shutdown command. On the contrary, the shutdown command disables the interface.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config-if)# no shutdown
  • Step 3. Enable or disable flow control (IEEE 802.3x PAUSE) by using the flow-control command.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config-if)# flow-control on
  • Step 4. Enable or disable incoming packets filtering by using the ingress-filtering command. Only the packets of the VLANs, which have this interface, will pass the enabled filter. Other packets will be filtered out. If the filter is disabled, a packet will be processed regardless of its VID field.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config-if)# ingress-filtering
  • Step 5. Specify a rule for VLAN tags processing for incoming packets by using the frame-types command. As a parameter, specify the packets to be allowed: either tagged (tagged only) or all (both tagged and untagged).

    LTP-8X(switch)(config-if)# frame-types tagged
  • Step 6. Specify the port pvid, i. e. the VLAN, which will accommodate untagged packets. Specify the pup value, which is the priority of untagged packets.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config-if)# pvid 100 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-if)# pup 0
  • Step 7. If necessary, enable or disable packets transfer from this interface to another one (or a range of interfaces) by using the bridging to command. Pass interface type and number (or a range) as parameters. The interface types and numbers are given in Table 19.

    All front-port interfaces are isolated by default, however data can be sent to any pon-port interface. The same is applicable to pon-port interfaces, which are isolated from each other, but can send data to any front-port interfaces.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config-if)# bridging to front-port 1

  • Step 8. If needed, use the spanning-tree command group to adjust the STP protocol.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config-if)# spanning-tree enable 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-if)# spanning-tree priority 32 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-if)# spanning-tree pathcost 0 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-if)# spanning-tree admin-p2p auto 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-if)# spanning-tree admin-edge
  • Step 9. If needed, set band limits for Broadcast, Multicast, Unknown Unicast and the whole traffic by using the rate-limit bc/mc/uu, and shaper commands correspondingly. As parameters, pass the maximum band width in kbps and the maximum length of uninterrupted transmission of packet batches in bytes.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config-if)# rate-limit bc 1000 2048 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-if)# rate-limit mc 1000 2048 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-if)# shaper 100000 4000
  • Step 10. Set automatic determination of speed and duplex of the interface either by using the speed auto command or manually.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config-if)# speed auto
  • Step 11. Set the interface description by the description command.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config-if)# description org-uplink
  • Step 12. Enable mac notification trap if necessary. The device will send snmp-trap when learning new MAC or when deleting the old one.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config-if)# snmp trap mac-notification added 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-if)# snmp trap mac-notification removed
  • Step 13. Apply the configuration by using the commit command. 

    LTP-8X(switch)(config-if)# exit 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# commit

Configuring Storm Control

A storm appears due to excessive number of broadcast or/and multicast messages transmitted on the network via a single port simultaneously. It leads to an overload of the network resources and appearing of delays. A storm also can be caused by loopback segments of an Ethernet network. The switch evaluates the rate of incoming broadcast, multicast and unknown unicast traffic for port with enabled Storm Control and drops packets if the rate exceeds the set maximum value.

There is an opportunity to record a storm event to the log and disable the port for a specified time (in seconds).

LTP-8X(switch)(config-if)# rate-limit uu 1000 2048 
LTP-8X(switch)(config-if)# rate-limit mc 1000 2048 logging 
LTP-8X(switch)(config-if)# rate-limit bc 1000 2048 logging shutdown 30

For manual enabling of the port after blocking by Storm Control, use the clear storm command.

LTP-8X(switch)# clear storm front-port 0

GPON interface configuration

  • Step 1. Switch to the configure view.

    LTP-8X# configure terminal
  • Step 2. Activate traffic encryption with the gpon olt encryption command if necessary. Specify the encryption key renewal period with the gpon olt encryption key-update command. Pass time period in seconds as a parameter.

    LTP-8X(config)# gpon olt encryption 
    LTP-8X(config)# gpon olt encryption key-update 60
  • Step 3. Specify ONT authentication method with the gpon olt authentication command. ONTs can be authenticated by password, serial number, or both.

    LTP-8X(config)# gpon olt authentication both
  • Step 4. Specify time of ONT blocking (in minutes) in case of MAC duplication or storm appearing. For details see the Configuring Storm Control section.

    LTP-8X(config)# gpon olt ont-block-time 1

    It is possible to receive a PON password of non-configured ONTs in an ALARM trap.

    LTP-8X(config)# gpon olt password-in-trap
  • Step 5. Switch to GPON interface configuration. 

    LTP-8X(config)# interface gpon-port 0-7
  • Step 6. Enable or disable interfaces with the no shutdown or shutdown command respectively if necessary.

    LTP-8X(config)(if-gpon-0-7)# no shutdown
  • Step 7. Activate FEC for interfaces with the fec command if necessary. 

    LTP-8X(config)(if-gpon-0-7)# fec

    In case of using FEC, the real bandwidth decreases by ~10 %

  • Step 8. If necessary, enable the ability to migrate MAC addresses for selected interfaces. 

    LTP-8X(config)(if-gpon-0-7)# mac-migration
  • Step 9. Adjust time settings of optical transceivers if needed.

    LTP-8X(config)(if-gpon-0-7)# optics use-custom 
    LTP-8X(config)(if-gpon-0-7)# optics ...

    Optical transceivers should be adjusted only by agreement with Eltex Service Center.

  • Step 10. If necessary, enable unknown multicast with the following command.

    LTP-8x(config)(if-gpon-7)# unknown-multicast-forward enable
  • Step 11. Apply the configuration by using the commit command.

    LTP-8X(config)(if-gpon-0-7)# exit 
    LTP-8X(config)# do commit

GPON port force enable

LTP-X devices have the ability to forcibly enable GPON ports that are disabled in the configuration

        SFP tx bias current [mA]:            n/a
        SFP tx power [dBm]:                  n/a

To forcibly enable the port, put it into the force mode. The command is applied without entering the commit command.

LTP-8X# force-mode interface gpon-port 7

The command will not apply to an enabled gpon-port.

As a result, the port will be enabled until the next reconfiguration or reboot.

LTP-8X# show interface gpon-port 7 state 
    Reading:  .
    Gpon-port status information:
        Gpon-port:                             7
        State:                                OK
        ONT count:                             0
        Force-mode:                      enabled
        ONT autofind:                    enabled
        SFP vendor:                       Ligent
        SFP product number:          LTE3680M-BC
        SFP vendor revision:                 1.0

        SFP voltage [V]:                    3.25
        SFP tx bias current [mA]:          16.81
        SFP tx power [dBm]:                 3.34

The force-mode command stops if the device is reconfigured or rebooted, because it is not saved in the configuration.

Unknown-multicast traffic forwarding

LTP-X devices have the ability to forward unknown-multicast to broadcast-gem-port. Configuration is performed for each GPON port separately.

LTP-8X# configure terminal
LTP-8X(config)# interface gpon-port 0
LTP-8X(config)(if-gpon-0)# unknown-multicast-forward enable
LTP-8X(config)(if-gpon-0)# unknown-multicast-forward to broadcast-gem

This functionality is required for some protocols, such as IS-IS.

After applying the settings, the specified GPON port will be reconfigured, which will lead to the reconfiguration of all ONTs on the port.

GPON ports redundancy configuration

GPON port redundancy is designed to increase the reliability of the PON network. There are several types of redundancy: Type-A, Type-B, Type-C and Type-D. LTP-X supports Type-B redundancy. Type-B redundancy provides the ability to automatically switch between channels by using an additional GPON port. There are several ONT connection schemes (Figure 25 and Figure 26).

Figure 25 — Type-B redundancy. Connection scheme 1

Figure 26 — Type-B redundancy. Connection scheme 2

Before beginning to operate with redundancy, make sure that OLT supports it.

Redundancy is supported on the following boards:

  • LTP-4X/8X-rev.C with PLD version 14 and higher;
  • LTP-4X/8X rev.D.

The necessary information can be obtained by using the show system environment command.

  • Step 1. The redundancy configuration is performed with the gpon olt redundacy gpon-port command.

    Redundancy can only be configured on 4 pairs of ports — 0-1, 2-3, 4-5 and 6-7, other combinations are not supported.

    The gpon olt redundancy gpon-port command allows you to configure redundancy on one or more pairs at once.

    LTP-8X# configure terminal 
    LTP-8X(config)# gpon olt redundancy gpon-port 0-1,2-3,4-5,6-7
    LTP-8X(config)# do commit

    Once configured, the even-numbered port defaults to the primary channel and the odd-numbered port to the redundant channel.

  • Step 2. Configure the ONT on an even-numbered port.

    ONT configuration is performed only on even-numbered ports (0, 2, 4 and 6), odd-numbered ports use the configuration from even-numbered ports.

    LTP-8X# configure terminal 
    LTP-8X(config)# interface ont 0/2
    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/2)# serial ELTX62108400
    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/2)# do commit

    Once configured, the ONT will appear in the OK state on the main channel and in the REDUNDANT state on the redundant channel.

  • Step 3. To display ONT information on a pair of channels, use the show interface ont x-x redundant command.

In case of malfunction on the main channel, such as line breakage, there will be a seamless channel change — the redundant channel will become the main channel, the main channel in this case will go to redundant state. Seamless channel change is the transition of all ONTs from the main channel to the redundant channel without interrupting client sessions.

Once the communication line is restored, there will be no switching back. The next switch will only occur if there is a malfunction on the current main channel.

Port Mirroring configuration

Port mirroring is used to duplicate the traffic on monitored ports by sending ingress or and/or egress packets to the controlling port. Users can define a controlled port and controlling ports and select the type of the traffic (ingress or egress), which will be sent to the controlling port.

Configuration of the controlled port

  • Step 1. Mirroring is configured in the terminal switch. Execute the switch and configure commands consecutively to switch to the config view.

    LTP-8X# switch 
    LTP-8X(switch)# configure terminal
    LTP-8X(switch)(config)#
  • Step 2. Configure the pon-port mirroring for ingress and egress traffic.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# mirror rx interface pon-port 0 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# mirror tx interface pon-port 0
  • Step 3. Apply the configuration by using the commit command.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# commit

Configuration of the controlling port

  • Step 1. Switch to the switch config view by using the switch and configure commands.

    LTP-8X# switch 
    LTP-8X(switch)# configure terminal
    LTP-8X(switch)(config)#
  • Step 2. Configure mirroring and traffic analysis for any front-port.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# mirror rx analyzer front-port 7 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# mirror tx analyzer front-port 7
  • Step 3. If necessary, add a VLAN tag to be used for all mirrored traffic and packet priority.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# mirror add-tag 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# mirror rx added-tag-config vlan 1555 user-prio 0
    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# mirror tx added-tag-config vlan 1555 user-prio 0
  • Step 4. Apply the configuration by using the commit command.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# commit

LLDP configuration

Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is a Data link layer protocol that allows network devices to announce information about themselves and their capabilities to the network, as well as to collect this information about neighboring devices. The standard RFC mib 1.0.8802 are supported by the SNMP agent.

LLDP configuration

  • Step 1. Activate the LLDP.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# lldp enable
  • Step 2. If necessary, configure LLDPDU transfer mode.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# interface front-port 0 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-if)# lldp mode transmit-receive
  • Step 3. Configure optional LLDP-TLVs for ports.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config-if)# lldp optional-tlv sys-desc 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-if)# lldp optional-tlv port-desc
  • Step 4. Specify the amount of time for the receiver to keep LLDP packets before dropping them.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# lldp hold-multiplier 5

    This value will be transmitted to the receiving side in the LLDP update packets; and should be an increment for the LLDP timer. Thus, the lifetime of LLDP packets is calculated by the formula.

    TTL = min(65535,LLDP-Timer * LLDP-HoldMultiplier)
  • Step 5. Set the reinitialization time of LLDP.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# lldp reinit 3
  • Step 6. Specify how often the device will send LLDP information updates.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# lldp timer 60
  • Step 7. Specify the delay between the subsequent LLDP packet transmissions caused by the changes of values or status in the local LLDP MIB database.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# lldp tx-delay 3

    It is recommended that this delay be less than 0.25* LLDP-Timer.

  • Step 8. Specify the processing mode of LLDP packets.
    LLDP packet processing mode:

    • filtering — LLDP packets are filtered if LLDP is disabled on the switch;
    • flooding — LLDP packets are transmitted if LLDP is disabled on the switch.
LTP-8X(switch)(config)# lldp lldpdu flooding
  • Step 9. Apply the configuration by using the commit command.
LTP-8X(switch)(config)# commit


ERPS configuration

ERPS (Ethernet Ring Protection Switсhing) — link layer protocol designed to increase the stability and reliability of a data network by creating a ring topology with logical blocking of interfaces. It is realized by reducing recovery network time in case of breakdown. Recovery time does not exceed 1 second. It is much less than network change over time in case of spanning tree protocols usage.

ERPS configuration

  • Step 1. Enable ERPS.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# erps enable
  • Step 2. Create an ERPS ring with the R-APS VLAN identifier through which service traffic will be transmitted.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# erps vlan 700
  • Step 3. Specify east/west port.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config-erps)# port east front-port 3 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-erps)# port west port-channel 1
  • Step 4. Set the range of secure VLANs.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config-erps)# protected vlan add 100-103
  • Step 5. If necessary, assign the RPL port with the owner/neighbor command.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config-erps)# rpl east owner
  • Step 6. Change the timers if necessary.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config-erps)# timer guard 10 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-erps)# timer holdoff 100 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-erps)# timer wtr 1
  • Step 7. Specify a subring if necessary. 

    LTP-8X(switch)(config-erps)# sub-ring vlan 750
  • Step 8. Enable the ring by the enable command. 

    LTP-8X(switch)(config-erps)# ring enable

  • Step 9. View the status of the generated ERPS ring.

    LTP-8X(switch)# show erps vlan 700
    R-APS VLAN : 700
    Admin Status : Enabled
    West Port : port-channel 1 (Signal Fail)
    East Port : front-port 1 (Forwarding)
    RPL Port : East
    RPL Owner : Enabled (Active)

ARP-Inspection configuration

The ARP Inspection function is dedicated to defense against attacks which use ARP (for instance, ARP-spoofing — ARP traffic interception). ARP Inspection is implemented on the basis of static correspondence between IP and MAC addresses defined for VLAN.

ARP-Inspection configuration

  • Step 1. Switch to the switch config view by using the switch and configure commands.

    LTP-8X# switch 
    LTP-8X(switch)# configure terminal
    LTP-8X(switch)(config)#
  • Step 2. Enable arp inspection, add static entries.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# ip arp inspection 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# ip arp inspection static-table 1.1.1.1 A8:F9:4B:11:11:01 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# ip arp inspection static-table 1.1.1.2 A8:F9:4B:11:11:10 vlan 10
  • Step 3. Configure trusted and untrusted interfaces.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# interface front-port 7 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-if)# no ip arp inspection trusted 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# interface front-port 0 — 6 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-if)# ip arp inspection trusted

  • Step 4. Apply the configuration by using the commit command.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# commit

QoS rules configuration

The traffic prioritization and allocation by hardware queues (IEEE 802.1p/DSCP) are implemented on the basis of set rules in the system.

Table 21 — Traffic prioritization methods

Method

Description

0

All the priorities are equal

1

Packet selection according to IEEE 802.1p

2

Packet selection only according to IP ToS (Type of Service) on 3 level — support for Differentiated Services Codepoint (DSCP)

3

Interaction according to either 802.1p or DSCP/TOS

  • Step 1. Set a queue on which packets will be transmitted without preset rules. The 0 queue has the least priority.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# qos default 0
  • Step 2. Set a traffic prioritization method by using the qos type command. Send a type of prioritization as an argument.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# qos type 1

  • Step 3. Using qos map command, set rules for translation of 802.1p and DSCP/TOS to a queue number. Send field type and priorities lists as parameters.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# qos map 1 0-4,15,63 to 6 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# commit

Weighted Round Robin (WRR) configuration

Weighted Round Robin (WRR) — an algorithm which distribute throughput by classes, using a scheme of weighted round robin. The OLT has 8 hardware queues.

  • Step 1. Enable WRR and set 4 queues (0, 1, 2, 3) which will be processed by the algorithm. The other queues will be strict. The WRR queues are enumerated from 0.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# qos wrr enable 4
  • Step 2. The weight of each queue, starting with the 7th.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# qos wrr queues 1 1 1 1 60 20 15 5
  • Step 3. Save the configuration.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# commit 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# exit 
    LTP-8X(switch)# exit 
    LTP-8X# save

LAG configuration

This chapter describes configuration of uplink interfaces aggregation. Link aggregation (IEEE 802.3ad) is a technology that allows multiple physical links to be combined into one logical link (aggregation group). Aggregation group has a higher throughput and is very reliable.

Figure 27 — Multiple physical links combined to an aggregation group

The terminal supports two interface aggregation modes: static and dynamic. Static aggregation implies that all communication links of a group are always active. As for dynamic aggregation, link activity is dynamically determined during operation via LACP protocol.

Table 22 — Operation modes of aggregation groups

Mode

Description

static

Link aggregation protocol is not used

lacp

LACP is used

The terminal has several algorithms of load balancing within aggregation groups.

Table 23 — Load balancing modes

Mode

Description

ip

Based on IP addresses of sender and receiver

ip-l4

Based on IP addresses of sender and receiver, and L4

mac

Based on MAC addresses of sender and receiver

mac-ip

mac-ip-l4

Based on MAC and IP addresses and L4 of sender and receiver

The terminal supports two LACP modes. Passive — the terminal does not initiate creation of a logical link, but processes incoming LACP packets. Active — the terminal creates an aggregated communication link and initiates parameters conformance. The parameters are coordinated if equipment operates in active or passive LACP modes.

LAG configuration

LAG configuration represents configuration of static aggregation and LACP. To configure LAG, perform the steps marked blue in Figure 28. LACP configuration requires all steps to be performed.


Figure 28 — LAG and LACP configuration procedure

  • Step 1. LAG is configured in the terminal switch. Execute the switch and configure commands consecutively to switch to the config view.

    LTP-8X# switch 
    LTP-8X(switch)# configure terminal
    LTP-8X(switch)(config)#
  • Step 2. Create a port-channel logical interface by using the interface port-channel command.

    As a parameter, pass the number of the interface being created. Up to ten logical interfaces can be created.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# interface port-channel 3 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-if)#
  • Step 3. Set general interface parameters: speed, duplex, flow-control, etc. Interfaces configuration is described in detail in the Interface configuration section.

  • Step 4. Configure aggregation by using the mode command. Pass the operation mode as a parameter. Operation modes are specified in Table 22.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config-if)# mode lacp
  • Step 5. This step should only be performed for LACP configuration. Set a LACP system priority by using the lacp system-priority command. The no lacp system-priority command returns 32768 (default value).

    LTP-8X(switch)(config-if)# exit 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# lacp system-priority 32541

    The lacp system-priority command can be executed in the configure view of the terminal switch.

  • Step 6. Specify load balancing rules by using the port-channel load-balance command if needed. Pass the load balancing mode as a parameter. Balance modes are specified in Table 23.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# port-channel load-balance ip

    The port-channel load-balance command can be executed in the configure view of the terminal switch.

  • Step 7. When used for load balancing, L4 parameters require a long hash. Enable the long hash by using the port-channel l4-long-hash enable command.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# port-channel l4-long-hash enable

    The port-channel l4-long-hash command can be executed in the configure view of the terminal switch.

  • Step 8. Add physical interfaces into the logical one by using the channel-group command. As a parameter, pass the number of the logical interface.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# interface front-port 0 — 4 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-if-range)# channel-group port-channel 3

    The channel-group command can be executed in the configure view of an interface (a range) of the switch.

  • Step 9. This step should only be performed for LACP configuration. Set a priority for a physical interface by using the lacp port-priority command if necessary. The no lacp port-priority command resets port priority to the default value of 32768; 1 is the highest priority.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config-if-range)# no lacp port-priority 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-if-range)# exit 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# interface front-port 0 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-if)# lacp port-priority 256

    The lacp port-priority command can be executed in the configure view of a switch interface.

  • Step 10. This step should only be performed for LACP configuration. Use the lacp mode command to set an active or passive LACP mode.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config-if)# exit 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# interface port-channel 3 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-if)# lacp mode active
  • Step 11. This step should only be performed for LACP configuration. In case of the active LACP mode, set an interval for transmission of LACP control packets by using the lacp rate command. Pass slow (30 seconds) or fast (1 second) as a parameter.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config-if)# lacp rate slow
  • Step 12. Apply the configuration by using the commit command. 

    LTP-8X(switch)(config-if)# exit 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# commit

DHCP Relay Agent configuration

This chapter describes configuration of DHCP Relay Agent in the terminal.

DHCP Relay Agent is used to provide a DHCP server with additional information about a received DHCP request. This may include information about the terminal running DHCP Relay Agent as well as information about the ONT, which sent the DHCP request. DHCP packets are modified by interception and further processing in the terminal CPU.

The DHCP server analyses DHCP option 82 and identifies the ONT. DHCP Relay Agent allows the option to be both transparently transmitted from the ONT and formed/rewritten according to a specified format. DHCP option 82 is especially useful for networks, which have no private VLANs dedicated for each user.

DHCP Relay Agent supports configurable formats for both Circuit ID and Remote ID. The format of the suboptions is configured with the help of the tokens listed in Table 24. The placeholders will be replaced with corresponding values, while the rest of the words will be passed as is.

In addition to DHCP option 82, DHCP Relay Agent has some more functions related to network security. It provides protection from DoS attacks by setting a threshold for intensity of DHCP messages, which are received from ONT. Exceeding the threshold blocks DHCP requests. The blocking time can be configured.

It also protects from illegal DHCP servers by controlling the source IP address of DHCP responses. Transmitted are only the DHCP responses, which arrived from IP addresses of trusted DHCP servers.

DHCP Relay Agent profiles management

A set of profiles is used for DHCP Relay Agent configuration. All VLANs use dhcp-ra-00 profile by default.

The configuration is flexible as it allows DHCP profiles to be assigned not only to a terminal on the whole, but separately to each VLAN as well. To assign a profile, the following steps should be taken.

  • Step 1. Assign the default profile for all VLANs with the help of the gpon olt profile dhcp-ra dhcp-ra-00 command.

    LTP-8X# configure terminal 
    LTP-8X(config)# gpon olt profile dhcp-ra dhcp-ra-00
  • Step 2. Create a new DHCP Relay Agent profile with the help of the profile dhcp-ra command if necessary. Pass profile name as a parameter.

    LTP-8X(config)# profile dhcp-ra dhcp-ra-01 
    LTP-8X(config-dhcp-ra)("dhcp-ra-01")# exit
  • Step 3. Assign the newly created profile to a selected VLAN with the gpon olt profile dhcp-ra dhcp-ra-01 command. As a parameter, pass the VID, which requires individual configuration.

    LTP-8X(config)# gpon olt profile dhcp-ra dhcp-ra-01 vid 1000
  • Step 4. Check the changes by using the show gpon olt configuration command.

    LTP-8X(config)# do show gpon olt configuration
    		Profile dhcp-ra:		dhcp-ra-00		OLT Profile DHCP Relay Agent 0
    Profile dhcp-ra per VLAN 1000 [0]:		
    			Profile:			dhcp-ra-01		OLT Profile DHCP Relay Agent 1
  • Step 5. Apply the changes by using the commit command. 

    LTP-8X(config)# do commit

    To apply the changes, the OLT should be reconfigured.

DHCP Relay Agent profiles configuration

  • Step 1. Switch to the corresponding DHCP Relay Agent profile.

    LTP-8X(config)# profile dhcp-ra dhcp-ra-01
  • Step 2. Enable DHCP traffic processing with the enable command.

    LTP-8X(config-dhcp-ra)("dhcp-ra-01")# enable
  • Step 3. Enable insert/overwrite of DHCP option 82 with the help of the overwrite-option82 command if needed.

    LTP-8X(config-dhcp-ra)("dhcp-ra-01")# overwrite-option82
  • Step 4. Specify the DHCP option 82 format with the help of the overwrite-option82 circuit-id and overwrite-option82 remote-id commands if needed. A list of possible tokens is given in Table 24.

    LTP-8X(config-dhcp-ra)("dhcp-ra-01")# overwrite-option82 circuit-id "%HOSTNAME% %MAC% %OPT82_CID%" 
    LTP-8X(config-dhcp-ra)("dhcp-ra-01")# overwrite-option82 remote-id "%OPT82_RID%"
  • Step 5. Enable DoS attack protection with the help of the dos-block command if needed. Specify a threshold for the number of DHCP queries per second that will block queries when exceeded. Use the dos-block packet-limit command for it. Use the dos-block block-time command to specify the blocking time in seconds. 

    LTP-8X(config-dhcp-ra)("dhcp-ra-01")# dos-block 
    LTP-8X(config-dhcp-ra)("dhcp-ra-01")# dos-block packet-limit 200 
    LTP-8X(config-dhcp-ra)("dhcp-ra-01")# dos-block block-time 300
  • Step 6. Set a list of trusted DHCP servers with the help of the trusted primary and trusted secondary commands. Specify a response timeout for DHCP servers by using the trusted timeout command. Activate filters with the help of the trusted command. 

    LTP-8X(config-dhcp-ra)("dhcp-ra-01")# trusted primary 10.0.0.1 
    LTP-8X(config-dhcp-ra)("dhcp-ra-01")# trusted secondary 10.0.0.2 
    LTP-8X(config-dhcp-ra)("dhcp-ra-01")# trusted timeout 100 
    LTP-8X(config-dhcp-ra)("dhcp-ra-01")# trusted
  • Step 7. Apply the changes by using the commit command. 

    LTP-8X(config-dhcp-ra)("dhcp-ra-01")# do commit

    To apply the changes, the OLT should be reconfigured.

Active DHCP leases monitoring

When enabled, DHCP-RA allows monitoring of DHCP leases. To view the list of sessions, use the do show interface gpon-port 0 dhcp sessions command.

LTP-4X# show interface gpon-port 1 dhcp sessions 
    DHCP sessions (2):
##      Serial       ONT  Service       IP                 MAC          Vid    GEM  Life time
1  454C5458690000E8  1/4    1     192.168.101.102  A8:F9:4B:E5:67:8B    1101   433   3587
2  454C5458690000E8  1/4    0     192.168.200.51   A8:F9:4B:E5:67:8A    600    432   86307

It is also possible to remove dynamic entries from the DHCP snooping table with the clear dhcp-sessions interface ont command.

LTP-8X# clear dhcp-sessions interface ont <0-7>[/0-127]

Broadcast-unicast relay configuration

To reduce the broadcast traffic and avoid responses from illegal DHCP-servers, unicast messages can be configured to interact with the specified DHCP Relay Agent. Relay Agent can be individually started for each separate VLAN. The service allows processing only for the packets, which have only one 802.1q tag.

  • Step 1. Create an L3 interface by specifying the IP address of the VLAN the service is provided for. If the address of the DHCP server is in the same network as the management interface, skip Step 3. If the DHCP server is in the VLAN, which is specified in cross-connect, the IP address of the interface being created should be in the same network as the DHCP server, and you should skip Step 3.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# vlan 2000 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-vlan)# ip address 10.10.10.1/32
  • Step 2. Specify up to 3 addresses of DHCP servers.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config-vlan)# ip dhcp relay 192.168.56.1 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-vlan)# ip dhcp relay 192.168.56.2
  • Step 3. Create an L3 interface by specifying the IP address of the VLAN, which is used for switching in the network where the DHCP server is located.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# vlan 1209 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-vlan)# ip address 192.168.209.240/24
  • Step 4. If the addresses of the DHCP servers are located after the router available after the specified L3 interface, configure a static route. 

    LTP-8X# configure terminal 
    LTP-8X(config)# ip route prefix 192.168.56.0 mask 24 gateway 192.168.209.5 
    LTP-8X(config)# do commit
  • Step 5. If VLAN in which interception of DHCP requests is implemented is the same as management VLAN of OLT (e.g. OLT connects to only one VLAN or traffic untagged), you need to explicitly enable redirection of DHCP requests on the VLAN.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# vlan 1209 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-vlan)# ip dhcp relaying

PPPoE Intermediate Agent configuration

This chapter describes configuration of PPPoE Intermediate Agent of the terminal.

PPPoE Intermediate Agent is used to provide BRAS with additional information about a received PADI request. This may include information about the terminal running PPPoE Intermediate Agent as well as information about the ONT, which sent the PADI request. PADI packets are modified by interception and further processing in the terminal CPU.

BRAS analyses the Vendor Specific tag and identifies the ONT. PPPoE Intermediate Agent forms or rewrites the Vendor Specific tag using a specified format. Vendor Specific tags are especially useful for networks, which have no private VLANs dedicated for each user.

PPPoE Intermediate Agent supports configurable formats for Circuit ID and Remote ID. The format of the suboptions is configured with the help of the tokens listed in Table 25. The placeholders will be replaced with corresponding values, while the rest of the words will be passed as is.

In addition to vendor specific tag support, PPPoE Intermediate Agent has some more functions related to network security. It provides protection from DoS attacks by setting a threshold for intensity of PADI messages, which are received from ONT. Exceeding the threshold blocks PADI requests. The blocking time can be configured.

PPPoE Intermediate Agent also limits the number of simultaneous PPPoE sessions. The restriction can be set for both the total number of terminal sessions and for every ONT separately.

PPPoE Intermediate Agent profile configuration

To configure a PPPoE Intermediate Agent profile, the following steps should be taken.

  • Step 1. Switch to the PPPoE Intermediate Agent profile.

    LTP-8X# configure terminal 
    LTP-8X(config)# profile pppoe-ia pppoe-ia-00 
    LTP-8X(config-pppoe-ia)("pppoe-ia-00")#
  • Step 2. Enable PPPoE traffic processing with the enable command.

    LTP-8X(config-pppoe-ia)("pppoe-ia-00")# enable
  • Step 3. Specify the vendor specific tag format with the help of the format circuit-id and format remote-id commands. A list of possible tokens is given in Table 25.

    LTP-8X(config-pppoe-ia)("pppoe-ia-00")# format circuit-id "%HOSTNAME%" 
    LTP-8X(config-pppoe-ia)("pppoe-ia-00")# format remote-id "%PONSERIAL%:%GEMID%"
  • Step 4. Enable DoS attack protection with the help of the dos-block command if needed. Specify a threshold for the number of DHCP queries per second that will block queries when exceeded. Use the dos-block packet-limit command for it. Use the dos-block block-time command to specify the blocking time in seconds. 

    LTP-8X(config-pppoe-ia)("pppoe-ia-00")# dos-block 
    LTP-8X(config-pppoe-ia)("pppoe-ia-00")# dos-block packet-limit 200 
    LTP-8X(config-pppoe-ia)("pppoe-ia-00")# dos-block block-time 300
  • Step 5. Set the limits of PPPoE sessions by using the sessions-limit command.

    LTP-8X(config-pppoe-ia)("pppoe-ia-00")# sessions-limit 128 per-user 2

    If there is no need to limit sessions for all ONTs, pass unlimited parameter in session-limit per-user command.

    LTP-8X(config-pppoe-ia)("pppoe-ia-00")# sessions-limit per-user unlimited

    If you need to disable limiting session for specified ONT (might be useful for SFP-ONU) and save limiting for others, define limiting globally in the profile and disable it in the interface ont settings.

    LTP-8X(config-pppoe-ia)("pppoe-ia-00")# sessions-limit 8192 per-user 2 
    LTP-8X(config-pppoe-ia)("pppoe-ia-00")# exit 
    LTP-8X(config)# interface ont 0/0 
    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/0)# pppoe-sessions-unlimit
  • Step 6. Apply the changes by using the commit command. 

    LTP-8X(config-pppoe-ia)("pppoe-ia-00")# do commit

    To apply the changes, the OLT should be reconfigured.

Active PPPoE sessions monitoring

Enabling PPPoE-IA allows active PPPoE sessions to be monitored. To view the list of sessions, use the following command.

LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/4)# do show interface gpon-port 0 pppoe session 
PPPoE sessions (1):
 ## Serial            GPON-port Ont ID  Port  Client             Session ID   Duration    Unblock
 1  454C54586700008C  0         4        353   A8:F9:4B:E3:16:5C  0x0003       0:00:27     0:00:00

Disabling session monitoring

The session monitoring is enabled in PPPoE-IA by default. Due to the fact that system resources are used for each session, in this mode, there are 8192 sessions to be initialized through the OLT (the maximum session-limit value).

If you need to bypass this limit and save opportunity to fill the Vendor-Specific tag fields, you can disable the monitoring. Use the following command.

LTP-8X(config-pppoe-ia)("pppoe-ia-00")# no sessions-monitoring enable 
LTP-8X(config-pppoe-ia)("pppoe-ia-00")# do commit

To enable the monitoring, use the command:

LTP-8X(config-pppoe-ia)("pppoe-ia-00")# sessions-monitoring enable 
LTP-8X(config-pppoe-ia)("pppoe-ia-00")# do commit

PPPoE-IA is capable to detect sessions which are established while session monitoring is enabled. If a session was established before monitoring being enabled, re-initiate the session.

IP Source Guard configuration

The IP Source Guard function allows restriction of unauthorised usage of IP addresses in the network by linking IP and MAC addresses of the source to a specific service on a specific ONT. There are two operation modes:

  1. To enable transmission of any traffic from clients, it is necessary to specify an explicit match between MAC and IP addresses of client equipment.
  2. Client equipment obtains its address via the DHCP protocol. Based on data exchange between client equipment and the DHCP server, a DCHP snooping table is generated on the OLT that contains MAC-IP-GEM port matches and information about lease period. Only the packets with source MAC and source IP fields matching the records in the DHCP snooping table are passed from the client. To support client equipment with static IP addresses, static entries can be created in the dynamic mode.

To enable the IP Source Guard functions, enable DHCP-RA. For more information on DHCP-RA, see DHCP Relay Agent configuration.
These functions are not supported in Model 1 (for more information about models, see Service Models).

When IP Source Guard is enabled, any non-IP traffic is forbidden.

IP Source Guard configuration

  • Step 1. Switch to the configure view.

    LTP-8X# configure terminal
  • Step 2. Enable IP Source Guard and specify the mode.

    LTP-8X(config)# ip source-guard enable 
    LTP-8X(config)# ip source-guard mode dynamic
  • Step 3. Apply the changes by using the do commit command.

    LTP-8X(config)# do commit

After the IPSG mode has been enabled/disabled/changed, the OLT is reconfigured automatically.

To enable DHCP session reset for a device with the same MAC address, there is an option:

LTP-8X(config)# ip source-guard one-dynamic-binding-for-MAC

It will automatically overwrite the old session with the new one.

To add static matches, use the following command:

LTP-8X(config)# ip source-guard bind ip <IP> mac <MAC> interface-ont <ONT> service <NUM>

Where:

  • IP — IP address of client equipment in X.X.X.X format;
  • МАС — MAC address of client equipment in ХХ:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX format;
  • ONT — ONT identifier in SLOT_ID/CNANNEL_ID/ONT_ID format;
  • NUM — ONT service number, through which traffic with specific addresses will be transmitted, from 0 to 7.

To disable IP Source Guard and remove static matches, use the negative no command.

LTP-8X(config)# no ip source-guard enable 
LTP-4X(config)# no ip source-guard bind ip <IP>

In case of OLT power supply loss, entries of DHCP snooping table might be lost. In this case the service will not work until the address is prolonged or received again. The problem usually occurs when lease time is long. You may solve the problem by saving of snooping table in non-volatile memory:

  • Step 1. Configure saving  of IP Source Guard entries by timer.

    LTP-8X(config)# ip source-guard database enable 
    LTP-8X(config)# ip source-guard database update-freq 1020
  • Step 2. If necessary, disable IP Source-Guard in the specified VLAN.

    LTP-8X(config)# ip source-guard ignore-vlan 10 
    LTP-8X(config)# ip source-guard ignore-vlan 20 
    LTP-8X(config)# ip source-guard mode dynamic
  • Step 3. Apply changes by the do commit command.

    LTP-8X(config)# do commit
  • Step 4. To view information about the status, mode, and static matches, use the show command.

    LTP-8X# show ip source-guard 
        IP Source Guard:
            Enabled:                                       true
            Mode:                                          dynamic
            Database enabled:                              true
            Database update frequency:                     1020
            Bind [0]:
                Ip:                                        192.168.200.90
                Mac:                                       00:22:B0:50:59:71
                Interface-ont:                             0/4
                Service:                                   2
            Vlan [10]                                      Allowed
            Vlan [20]                                      Allowed

IP Source Guard Database will work only if automatic time synchronization is implemented via NTP.


Configuring multicast traffic between ONTs within the same tree

The functionality allows you to turn multicast traffic to the same port from which it been received. The configuration consists of two parts: vlan configuration, multicast in which pon-port should be deployed, and on which the functional will operate.

Configuration:

  • Step 1. Switch to the view of vlan whose settings you want to change.

    LTP-8X# switch 
    LTP-8X(switch)# configure terminal
    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# vlan 400
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-vlan)#
  • Step 2. Enable multicast loopback.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config-vlan)# multicast loopback enable
  • Step 3. Return to the config view and switch to the view interface whose settings you want to change.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config-vlan)# exit
    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# interface pon-port 4
  • Step 4. Enable multicast loopback and apply the changes.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config-if)# multicast loopback enable 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-if)# commit

Service Models

This chapter considers main terms and classification of service models.

In general, a service model is based on a method which describes how the services are provided: «VLAN for Subscriber» or «VLAN for Service». The VLAN for Service architecture means that a service VLAN (S-VLAN) is used to provide all users with a certain service. The VLAN for Subscriber architecture implies that a client VLAN (C-VLAN) is used to provide a user with multiple services. These methods are often combined in practice and form a hybrid model, which uses S-VLAN and C-VLAN simultaneously.

VLAN for Subscriber architecture

A separate VLAN is used for each subscriber in the C-VLAN model. A dedicated C-VLAN is used to provide services to each user between the OLT and service routers. Service GEM ports are created for every OLT service between every ONT and the OLT. When a service request is generated upstream, records are added to the MAC table in the OLT according to C-VLAN. In case of downstream traffic, a corresponding GEM port is determined for a definite service according to the MAC table in the OLT.

If the destination address of the downstream transmission is unknown (broadcast or unknown unicast), i. e. the GEM port cannot be determined, two options are available:

  • transmission through a dedicated broadcast GEM port;
  • transmission to all GEM ports, which correspond to the services provided to the subscriber.

The destination address, in case it is unknown (broadcast or unknown unicast), will be determined based on the method implemented in a definite service model.

The architecture of this service model is shown in figure below.

image069.png
Figure 29 — "VLAN for Subscriber" service model architecture

VLAN for Service architecture

The S-VLAN model has a separate VLAN for every service. Consider its operation on an example of an abstract S-VLAN 100 service.

S-VLAN 100 is used between the OLT and service routers that is global for all subscribers in terms of this service. When a service request is generated upstream, records are added to the MAC table in the OLT according to S-VLAN and subscriber's MAC address. In case of downstream traffic, a corresponding subscriber of the service is determined based on the MAC table.

If the destination address of the downstream transmission is unknown (broadcast or unknown unicast), i. e. the GEM port cannot be determined, two options are available:

  • transmission through a dedicated broadcast GEM port (traffic is transmitted to all subscribers);
  • transmission to every subscriber through a GEM port corresponding to the service.

The destination address, in case it is unknown (broadcast or unknown unicast), will be determined based on the method implemented in a definite service model.

The architecture of this service model is shown in figure below.

image071.png
Figure 30 — "VLAN for Service" service model architecture

Operating principle

The configuration model concept is used for implementation of different service models in the terminal. A configuration model defines general principles for data communication channelling for both OLT and ONTs.

  • Model 1 is an implementation of the VLAN for Subscriber service model. The model does not have dedicated broadcast GEM ports and uses U-VLAN on the ONT side.
  • Model 2 is an implementation of the VLAN for Service service model. This model uses a dedicated broadcast GEM port.
  • Model 3 is an implementation of the VLAN for Service service model. This model uses a dedicated broadcast GEM port. It differs from Model 2 by the order of S-VLAN to U-VLAN modification.

Model 1

Consider an example of Model 1 implementation.
The scheme of this service model is shown in the Figure 31.

Figure 31 — Service Model 1 scheme

A C-VLAN is used between an ONT and service routers (BRAS, VoIP SR) that encapsulate services for one subscriber (one ONT), such as VoIP, Internet, and IPTV unicast. An S-VLAN that is global for all subscribers (ONTs) is used for the TR-069 management service. Corresponding GEM ports are created for every OLT service between the ONTs and OLT. A dedicated MC-VLAN is used for multicast transmissions.

The OLT casts C-VLAN (for VoIP, Internet, and IPTV unicast) or S-VLAN (for TR-069) for every service into a corresponding U-VLAN. An ONT associates the U-VLAN with corresponding ONT interfaces or program modules. For example, the TR-069 service is associated with a TR-069 client with the help of a corresponding interface. The VoIP, Internet, and IPTV unicast services can operate in the router or bridge modes depending on the ONT configuration. The chart shows all services configured in the router mode.

Broadcast and unknown unicast traffic is transmitted in this model by replicating a corresponding packet (broadcast or unknown unicast) to the OLT. C-VLAN replicates services to all associated GEM ports and at the same time translates data to the corresponding U-VLAN for each service. The TR-069 service is replicated between the corresponding GEM ports of all subscribers (ONTs). Thus, the model implements "VLAN for Subscriber" for the VoIP, Internet, and IPTV unicast services, but uses "VLAN for Service" for the TR-069 service.

Model 2

Consider an example of Model 2 implementation.

The chart of this service model is shown in the following figure.


Figure 32 — Service Model 1 scheme

Dedicated S-VLANs are used between the OLT and service routers (BRAS, VoIP SR) for each of the following services: VoIP, Internet, IPTV unicast, TR-069. These S-VLANs are common for all subscribers (ONTs). Corresponding GEM ports are created for every OLT service between the ONTs and OLT. A dedicated MC-VLAN is used for multicast transmissions.

OLT transmits S-VLAN into a corresponding U-VLAN for each service. An ONT associates the U-VLAN with corresponding ONT interfaces or program modules. For example, the TR-069 service is associated with a TR-069 client with the help of a corresponding interface. The VoIP, Internet, and IPTV unicast services can operate in the router or bridge modes depending on the ONT configuration. The chart shows all services configured in the router mode.

All broadcast and unknown unicast traffic is redirected to a dedicated broadcast GEM port in this model. Broadcast and unknown unicast packets are sent to U-VLAN (for the VoIP, Internet, and IPTV unicast services) in the ONT.

This model is similar to Model 3 except the following: transmission of C-VLAN to U-VLAN is performed on the OLT side, while the VoIP, Internet, and IPTV unicast traffic comes to U-VLAN in the ONT.

Thus, the model implements "VLAN for Service" for the VoIP, Internet, IPTV unicast, and TR-069 services.

Model 3

Consider an example of Model 3 implementation.

The chart of this service model is shown in the following figure.

Dedicated S-VLANs are used between the OLT and service routers (BRAS, VoIP SR) for each of the following services: VoIP, Internet, IPTV unicast, TR-069. These S-VLANs are common for all subscribers (ONTs). Corresponding GEM ports are created for every OLT service between the ONTs and OLT. A dedicated MC-VLAN is used for multicast transmissions.

The VoIP, Internet, IPTV, and TR-069 unicast services are associated with S-VLAN in an ONT. The ONT transmits S-VLAN into a corresponding U-VLAN for each service. An ONT associates the U-VLAN with corresponding ONT interfaces or program modules. For example, the TR-069 service is associated with a TR-069 client with the help of a corresponding interface. The VoIP, Internet, and IPTV unicast services can operate in the router or bridge modes depending on the ONT configuration. The chart shows all services configured in the router mode.

All broadcast and unknown unicast traffic is redirected to a dedicated broadcast GEM port in this model. Broadcast and unknown unicast packets come to S-VLAN in the ONT. These packets are transmitted into the corresponding U-VLANs on the ONT side. In this case, broadcast and unknown unicast are replicated neither in the OLT nor in the ONT since every service has a separate S-VLAN for broadcast and unknown unicast traffic.

Figure 33 — Service Model 3 scheme

Thus, the model implements "VLAN for Service".


Model configuration

  • Step 1. Check the current configuration with the help of the show gpon olt configuration command.

    LTP-8X# show gpon olt configuration:
    .  .  .
    Datapath:
    Model:	model2
    Broadcast gem port:	4095
    Multicast gem port:	4094
    .  .  .
  • Step 2. Set the model by using the gpon olt model command.

    LTP-8X# configure terminal 
    LTP-8X(config)# gpon olt model 3
  • Step 3. Apply the changes by using the commit command.

    LTP-8X(config)# do commit

ONT licensing

By default, OLT supports only ELTEX ONTs operation. To enable any third-party ONTs, OLT requires a license. To purchase the license, contact ELTEX Marketing Department.

If a third-party ONT is connected to OLT without a license, the following entry will be made in the log file:
Jul 4 11:10:14 LTP-8X pmchal: error: [ONT2/0] License is not valid, configuration will not continue

Loading a license file to OLT

A license is a text file of the following format:

{
"version":"<VER>",
"type":"all",
"count":"<count>",
"sn":"<SN>",
"mac":"<MAC>",
"sign":"<hash>"
}

Where:

  • VER — license file version number;
  • count — number of third-party ONTs that can run on OLT;
  • SN — LTP serial number;
  • MAC — LTP MAC address;
  • hash — license file digital signature.

There are two ways to load a license to OLT.

  1. Use the copy command:

    LTP-8X# copy tftp://<IP>/<PATH> fs://license 
    Download file from TFTP-server..
    License successfully installed. Please reboot device for changes to make effect

    Where:

    • IP — TFTP server IP address;
    • PATH — license file path on TFTP server.
  2. Use CLI:

    LTP-8X# license set """<license>""" 
    License saved.
    License successfully installed.

    Where:

    • license — full content of the license file including curly brackets.
      To view information about the license on the device, use the show command.

      LTP-8X# show license 
      Active license information:
          License valid:              yes
          Version:                    1.2
          Board SN:                   GP2B000022
          Licensed vendor:            all
          Licensed ONT count:         10
          Licensed ONT online:        3

      The license file remains after device reload, firmware update, and configuration load. If OLT is reset to factory settings, the license is also deleted.

Deleting a license file from OLT

If necessary, you can delete a previously installed license using the no license command.

LTP-8X# no license 
License file removed. 
License successfully deleted from system. 
LTP-8X# show license 
Active license information: 
	No license installed

Automatic ONT activation

Automatic activation speeds up the process of adding new ONTs to an existing configuration with the necessary profiles.

Automatic ONT activation configuration

  • Step 1. Enable automatic ONT activation.

    LTP-8X(config)# gpon olt auto-activation ont enable
  • Step 2. If necessary, specify a template that will be assigned to all auto-activated ONTs by default.

    LTP-8X(config)# gpon olt auto-activation ont default template template-00
  • Step 3. If necessary, specify a template that will be assigned to ONT depending on their type (EquipmentID), during automatic activation.

    LTP-8X(config)# gpon olt auto-activation ont type NTU-1 template NTU1_2149
  • Step 4. If necessary, specify the gpon-port on which this auto-activation rule will trigger.

    TP-8X(config)# gpon olt auto-activation ont type NTU-1 template template-00 gpon-port 0-2
  • Step 5. Apply the changes by using the commit command. 

    LTP-8X(config)# do commit

After applying the changes, the OLT will reconfigure.
To apply ONT configuration changes that are added automatically, you must enter the rollback command first. Changes will not be made until the command is entered and an error will be issued indicating the need to enter.

ONT configuration

This chapter describes general principles of ONT configuration. It also defines configuration profiles.

ONT is configured with the help of a profile, which defines high-level expression of data communication channels. All operations related to channel creation are performed automatically. The way data communication channels are created depends on the selected service model.

ONT configuration includes assignment of configuration profiles and specification of ONT specific parameters. Configuration profiles allow general parameters to be set for all or for a range of ONTs. Profile parameters may include, for instance, DBA settings, configuration of VLAN operations in OLT and ONT, settings of Ethernet ports in ONT. Specific ONT parameters allow each separate ONT to have its own settings specified. Such settings include, for example, GPON password, subscriber's VLAN, etc.

General principles of configuration

Service is the key term of ONT configuration. This term completely includes a communication channel, through which data is transferred from the interfaces located on the front panel of the terminal (see section Interface configuration) to users' ONT ports. There are two service profiles: cross-connect and dba. The cross-connect profile creates a GEM service port, the dba profile allocates an Alloc-ID for this ONT and associates  a corresponding GEM port to the Alloc-ID.

Table 27 — ONT profiles

Profile

Description

cross-connect

Defines VLAN transformation in OLT and ONT

dba(alloc)

Defines upstream traffic parameters

shaping

Defines restrictions for upstream and downstream service traffic

management

Defines TR-69 management service parameters

ports

Defines user port groups in ONT as well as IGMP and multicast parameters for user ports

Figure 34 — ONT scope of operation

ONT profiles configuration

Cross-connect profile configuration

  • Step 1. To configure a cross-connect profile, first you need to specify whether the service will be routed (transmitted through an ONT router) or bridged (use bridge connection). This can be done by changing the model parameter.
  • Step 2. Then, you need to specify a service type in the type parameter. Some service types require the iphost parameter to be set that allows you to choose a definite instance of IP interface in the ONT.
  • Step 3. A VLAN is configured in a cross-connect profile with the help of the following parameters: tag mode, outer vid, outer cos, inner vid, user vid, and user cos.
  • Step 4. Tag mode enables upstream Q-in-Q mode; outer vid, outer cos, and inner vid specify internal and external Q-in-Q tags correspondingly. The CoS value of the internal tag is copied from the external one in this case. If the Q-in-Q mode is not used, only the outer vid and outer cos parameters are valid. The user vid and user cos parameters allow a tag to be specified, which will be used on the ONT side.
  • Step 5. The mac-table-limit parameter allows restriction of records number in the MAC table of the OLT for this service.
  • Step 6. The priority parameter allows allocation of all services of one T-CONT into queues with priorities (if ONT supports this method).

DBA profile configuration

This profile configures dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA). These parameters allow specification of any T-CONT type described in G.984.3.

  • Step 1. First of all, choose sla class to define the basic DBA algorithm.
  • Step 2. After that, configure sla status-reporting to define the type of ONT queues status report.
  • Step 3. The bandwidth fixed, bandwidth guaranteed, and bandwidth besteffort parameters define the fixed, guaranteed, and best-effort bandwidth correspondingly.

DBA configuration is described in details in DBA configuration.

Shaping profile configuration

Configuration of this profile allows restriction of upstream and downstream services.

  • Step 1. Downstream restriction in OLT uses the policing algorithm. The restriction can either use one policer for all services or individual policers for each separate service. This is specified in the one-policer parameter. When one policer is used for all services, only policer 0 should be specified; otherwise, policers for all services should be adjusted.
  • Step 2. Upstream restriction in ONT uses the shaping algorithm. You can specify either a global shaper or individual shapers for unicast, multicast, and broadcast traffic (ONT functionality).

The configuration of shaping profile represented detailed in Shaping configuration

Ports profile configuration

The ports profile allows you to group ports in ONT. The profile also contains IGMP and multicast setting as they are separately adjusted for each port.
You can adjust up to 4 Ethernet ports and a VEIP virtual port, which will serve as a link between the OMCI and RG domains in ONT.

  • Step 1. Ethernet ports are grouped with the help of the bridge-group parameter. Value 0 means that the port is associated with the RG domain (router). Other values mean port association with the OMCI domain, i. e. the port can be directly used in OLT to establish a data communication channel.
  • Step 2. IGMP and multicast configuration is described in detail in IGMP and MLD configuration in terminal switch.

Management profile configuration

The management profile enables specific configuration of the TR-069 management protocol, namely configuration of a TR-client in ONT.

  • Step 1. The omci-configuration parameter defines the TR client configuration which can be done either automatically with DHCP (all other parameters of the profile are not used in this case) or with OMCI using the profile settings.
  • Step 2. The url parameter corresponds to the address of the auto configuration server (ACS), which access parameters are defined by the username and password parameters.

The TR-069 protocol configuration is described in detail in VoIP configuration.

Re-defining the parameters set in the cross-connect profile. Custom parameters

In some cases, it is necessary to define unique VLAN ID/802.1p tags for ONT. For solving this problem, you can use custom parameters instead of creating a profile.

Custom svid

LTP-8X# configure terminal 
LTP-8X(config)# interface ont 0/0 
LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/0)# service 0 custom svid 1234

If cross-connect profile defined in the specified service has tag-mode double-tagged, VLAN ID of the external tag will be replaced. For single-tagged service, VLAN ID of the single tag will be replaced.

Custom cvid

LTP-8X# configure terminal 
LTP-8X(config)# interface ont 0/0 
LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/0)# service 0 custom cvid 1234

If cross-connect profile defined in the specified service has tag-mode double-tagged, VLAN ID of the internal tag will be replaced. For single-tagged service, VLAN ID of the single tag will be replaced.

If you set custom svid and cvid simultaneously for single-tagged service, svid will be used for replacing the VLAN ID.

Сustom cos

LTP-8X# configure terminal 
LTP-8X(config)# interface ont 0/0 
LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/0)# service 0 custom cos 3

Replaces 802.1p field in a tag.

ONT configuration procedure

Figure below shows a step-by-step procedure of ONT configuration.

 image081.png

Figure 35 — ONT configuration procedure

  • Step 1. Prior to proceed to ONT configuration, add an ONT into the OLT configuration. For an ONT to be added and configured, it does not need to be physically connected to the OLT. You can view the list of inactive ONTs with the help of the show interface ont <gpon-port> unactivated command.

    LTP-8X# show interface ont 0 unactivated
    -----------------------------------
    GPON-port 0 ONT unactivated list
    -----------------------------------
    ## Serial      ONT ID Channel Status RSSI[dBm] Version EquipmentID
    1 ELTX5C00008C n/a 0  UNACTIVATED	 n/a    n/a	 n/a
    2 ELTX1A00001A n/a 0  UNACTIVATED	 n/a    n/a	 n/a
    Total ONT count: 2
  • Step 2. To specify ONT settings, go to the corresponding view with the help of the interface ont command. Specify ONT serial number, password, or their combination.

    LTP-8X# configure terminal 
    LTP-8X(config)# interface ont 0/0 
    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/0)# serial ELTX5C00008C 
    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/0)# password 0000000000

    NTU-SFP-100 uses PON-Password «default» by default.

  • Step 3. Apply the configuration by using the commit command.

    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/0)# do commit
  • Step 4. View the ONT configuration by using the do show interface ont 0/0 configuration command.

    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/0)# do show interface ont 0/0 configuration

Model 1

Consider configuration of a data communication channel, which is based on Model 1 and implements "VLAN for Subscriber" (except for the control service, which is implemented in S-VLAN).

Routed mode

Configure the Internet (PPPoE), IPTV unicast, and management services via the TR-069 protocol. Set the VLAN ID for the subscriber to 200, U-VLAN IDs to 10 and 11 for each service respectively. Traffic between the OLT and ONT will be transmitted into VLAN 10 and 11. Multicast traffic will be transmitted to VLAN 98, management will be performed via VLAN 9.

Figure 36 — Routed service abstract representation for Model 1

  • Step 1. Assign a service model.

    LTP-8X# configure terminal 
    LTP-8X(config)# gpon olt model 1
  • Step 2. Create an Internet cross-connect profile for the configuration. By default, the profile uses a routed service. Configure a U-VLAN with the help of the user vid command (it equals 10 for the first service in this case).

    LTP-8X(config)# profile cross-connect Internet 
    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("Internet")# user vid 10
  • Step 3. Check the changes made.

    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("Internet")# do show profile cross-connect 
    Internet
    Name: ’Internet’
    Description: ’ONT Profile Cross Connect 1’

    U  vid: 10
    U  cos: unused
    Mac table entry limit: unlimited
    Type: general
    Iphost eid: 0
    Priority queue: 0
  • Step 4. By analogy with the described above, create another cross-connect profile (UC_IPTV) for the second service and configure it with U-VLAN 11.

    LTP-8X(config)# profile cross-connect UC_IPTV 
    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("UC_IPTV")# user vid 11
  • Step 5. Check the changes made.

    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("UC_IPTV")# do show profile cross-connect UC_IPTV
    Name: ’UC_IPTV’
    Description: ’ONT Profile Cross Connect 2’

    U  vid: 11
    U  cos:	unused
    Mac table entry limit: unlimited
    Type: general
    Iphost eid: 0
    Priority queue: 0

    Use web configurator or ACS to adjust necessary settings for these services in the ONT.

  • Step 6. Specify DBA parameters. To do this, create a dba profile and adjust the corresponding settings. We set a value of a guaranteed bandwidth in this example.

    LTP-8X(config)# profile dba AllServices 
    LTP-8X(config-dba)("AllServices")# bandwidth guaranteed 500
  • Step 7. Check the changes made.

    LTP-8X(config-dba)("AllServices")# do show profile dba AllServices
        Name:                                              'AllServices'

                Status reporting:                          nsr
                Alloc size:                                0
                Alloc period:                              0
                Fixed bandwidth:                           0
                Guaranteed bandwidth:                      500
                Besteffort bandwidth:                      1244000
        T-CONT allocation scheme:                          share T-CONT with same profile
  • Step 8. To configure multicast traffic, create a ports profile, specify groups allowed for viewing, a VLAN to send IGMP packets, and the rules for relaying multicast traffic in the downstream direction across the VLAN for the UC_IPTV service. 

    LTP-8X(config)# profile ports Ports1 
    LTP-8X(config-ports)("Ports1")# igmp multicast dynamic-entry 0 vid 98 
    LTP-8X(config-ports)("Ports1")# igmp multicast dynamic-entry 0 group 224.0.0.1 239.255.255.255 
    LTP-8X(config-ports)("Ports1")# veip upstream vid 11 
    LTP-8X(config-ports)("Ports1")# veip upstream tag-control replace-tag 
    LTP-8X(config-ports)("Ports1")# veip downstream vid 11 
    LTP-8X(config-ports)("Ports1")# veip downstream tag-control replace-tag
  • Step 9. Check the changes made.

    LTP-8X(config-ports)("Ports1")# do show profile ports 
    Ports1

                Max multicast bandwidth:                   0
  • Step 10. Configure a management profile. To do this, create a cross-connect profile and assign it with the management type.

    LTP-8X(config)# profile cross-connect management 
    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("management")# outer vid 9 
    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("management")# type management

  • Step 13. VLAN for Subscriber requires a C-VLAN to be assigned for this ONT (subscriber). Assign S-VLAN 200 for the Internet and IPTV services by using the service X custom command (where X – service number). The management service operates in an S-VLAN, therefore no C-VLAN is defined for this service. 

    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/0)# service 0 custom cvid 200
    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/0)# service 1 custom cvid 200
    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/0)# do show interface ont 0/0 configuration
    ...
    Service [0]:
    		Profile  cross  connect: Internet	ONT  Profile Cross  Connect  1
    		Profile dba: AllServices		ONT Profile DBA 1
    		Custom svlan: 200	
    		Custom CoS: unused	
    	Service [1]:
    		Profile  cross  connect: UC_IPTV	
    		Profile dba: AllServices		ONT Profile DBA 1
    		Custom svlan: 200	
    		Custom CoS: Unused	

  • Step 14. Apply the changes by using the commit command. 

    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/0)# do commit
  • Step 15. Configure VLAN 200, 201, 9, and 98 in the switch view (see VLAN configuration).

    LTP-8X# switch 
    LTP-8X(switch)# configure terminal
    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# vlan 200,201,98,9 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-vlan-range)# tagged front-port 0 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-vlan-range)# tagged pon-port 0 – 7 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-vlan-range)# exit 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# commit 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# exit
  • Step 16. Configure IGMP Proxy in the switch view for VLAN 98, enable the IGMP Proxy mode globally, and set the range of allowed IGMP groups. Also, enable IGMP snooping globally.

    LTP-8X# switch 
    LTP-8X(switch)# configure terminal
    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# ip igmp snooping 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# ip igmp proxy report range 232.1.0.1 232.1.0.100 from all to 98 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# ip igmp proxy report enable 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# commit 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# exit

Bridged mode

Configure the Internet (PPPoE), IPTV unicast, and management services via the TR-069 protocol. Set the subscriber VLAN ID to 200. Configure transmission of tagged traffic to LAN port 1. To do this, set the U-VLAN ID to 10. Traffic to port 2 will be transmitted untagged. Multicast traffic will be transmitted to VLAN 98, management will be performed via VLAN 9.

Figure 37 — Bridged service abstract representation for Model 1

  • Step 1. Create an Internet cross-connect profile to configure PPPoE in the bridge. Configure the bridged service specifying the bridge group the ONT port will be connected to (in this case, it is equal to 10 for the first service), define a U-VLAN for transmission of tagged traffic to the port.

    LTP-8X(config)# profile cross-connect Internet 
    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("Internet")# bridge 
    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("Internet")# bridge group 10

        Priority queue:                                    0
  • Step 3. By analogy with the described above, create another cross-connect profile (UC_IPTV) for the second service and configure it with bridge group 11.

    LTP-8X(config)# profile cross-connect UC_IPTV 
    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("UC_IPTV")# bridge

  • Step 5. Specify DBA parameters. To do this, create a dba profile and adjust the corresponding settings. We set a value of a guaranteed bandwidth in this example.

    LTP-8X(config)# profile dba AllServices 
    LTP-8X(config-dba)("AllServices")# bandwidth guaranteed 500

        T-CONT allocation scheme:                       share T-CONT with same profile
  • Step 7. Associate the bridge group with an ONT port. To do this, create a ports profile and set the bridge group parameter to 10 for the eth0 port and to 11 for the eth1 port. Set the rules of multicast traffic processing for port 1.

    LTP-8X(config)# profile ports Ports1 
    LTP-8X(config-ports)("Ports1")# port 0 bridge group 10 
    LTP-8X(config-ports)("Ports1")# port 1 bridge group 11 
    LTP-8X(config-ports)("Ports1")# igmp multicast dynamic-entry 0 vid 98 
    LTP-8X(config-ports)("Ports1")# igmp multicast dynamic-entry 0 group 224.0.0.1 239.255.255.255 
    LTP-8X(config-ports)("Ports1")# port 1 multicast 
    LTP-8X(config-ports)("Ports1")# port 1 igmp downstream vid 98 
    LTP-8X(config-ports)("Ports1")# port 1 igmp downstream tag-control remove-tag

Assign unique VLAN ID 200 for the Internet and IPTV services by using the service X custom command (where X — service number). The management service operates in an S-VLAN, therefore, settings from the profile are used for the service.

  • Step 13. Apply the changes by using the commit command.

    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/0)# do commit
  • Step 14. Configure VLAN 200 in the switch view (see VLAN configuration).

    LTP-8X# switch 
    LTP-8X(switch)# configure terminal
    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# vlan 200 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-vlan)# tagged front-port 0 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-vlan)# tagged pon-port 0 – 7 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-vlan)# exit 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# commit 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# exit

  • Step 15. Configure IGMP Proxy in the switch view for VLAN 98, enable the IGMP Proxy mode globally, and set the range of allowed IGMP groups. Also, enable IGMP snooping globally.

    LTP-8X# switch 
    LTP-8X(switch)# configure terminal
    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# ip igmp proxy report enable 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# ip igmp proxy report range 232.1.0.1 232.1.0.100 from all to 98 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# ip igmp snooping 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# commit 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# exit

Model 2 

Model 2 is a hybrid of Model 1 and Model 3. It is based on «VLAN for Service». Model 2 services configuration is similar to Model 3.

Model 3

Consider configuration of ONT data communication for Model 3, which implements the «VLAN for Service» principle.

Routed mode

Configure the Internet (PPPoE), IPTV unicast, and management services via the TR-069 protocol. Set the VLAN ID to 200 for Internet, to 201 for IPTV unicast. Services will be provided by operator in these VLANs. Set U-VLANs to 200 and 201 for each service respectively. These VLANs will transmit traffic to the subscriber device. Multicast traffic will be transmitted to VLAN 98, management will be performed via VLAN 9.

Figure 38 — Routed service abstract representation for Model 3

  • Step 1. Assign a service model.

    LTP-8X# configure terminal 
    LTP-8X(config)# gpon olt model 3

  • Step 2. Create an Internet cross-connect profile for the configuration. By default, the profile uses a routed service. Configure a U-VLAN with the help of the u-vid command (it equals 200 for the first service in this case). To assign an S-VLAN, use the outer vid 200 command.

    LTP-8X(config)# profile cross-connect Internet 
    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("Internet")# user vid 200 
    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("Internet")# outer vid 200

  • Step 6. Specify DBA parameters. To do this, create a dba profile and adjust the corresponding settings. We set a value of a guaranteed bandwidth in this example.

    LTP-8X(config)# profile dba AllServices 
    LTP-8X(config-dba)("AllServices")# bandwidth guaranteed 500

  • Step 8. To configure multicast traffic, create a cross-connect profile and set the VLAN intended for multicast transmission as an S-VLAN and U-VLAN.

    LTP-8X(config)# profile cross-connect MC_IPTV 
    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("MC_IPTV")# user vid 98

    Use web configurator or ACS to adjust necessary settings for these services in the ONT.

  • Step 10. After that, to configure multicast traffic, create a ports profile, specify groups allowed for viewing, a VLAN to send IGMP packets, and the rules for relaying multicast traffic in the downstream direction across the VLAN for the UC_IPTV service.

    LTP-8X(config)# profile ports Ports1 
    LTP-8X(config-ports)("Ports1")# igmp multicast dynamic-entry 0 vid 98

Bridged mode

Configure the Internet (PPPoE), IPTV unicast, and management services via the TR-069 protocol. Set the VLAN ID to 200 for Internet, to 201 for UC_IPTV. Set U-VLAN to 200 for Internet. Multicast traffic will be transmitted to VLAN 98, management will be performed via VLAN 9.

  • Step 1. Create an Internet cross-connect profile to configure PPPoE in the bridge. Configure the bridged service specifying the bridge group the ONT port will be connected to (in this case, it is equal to 10 for the first service).

    LTP-8X(config)# profile cross-connect Internet 
    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("Internet")# bridge 
    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("Internet")# bridge group 10
  • Step 2. To assign an S-VLAN, use the outer vid 200 command: The LAN port of the ONT will send tagged traffic. To enable this, set U-VLAN equal to S-VLAN.

    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("Internet")# outer vid 200 
    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("Internet")# user vid 200
  • Step 3. Check the changes made.

  • Step 4. By analogy with the described above, create another cross-connect profile (UC_IPTV) for the second service and configure it with bridge group 11 and S-VLAN 201. 

    LTP-8X(config)# profile cross-connect UC_IPTV 
    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("UC_IPTV")# bridge 
    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("UC_IPTV")# bridge group 11 
    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("UC_IPTV")# outer vid 201
  • Step 5. Set U-VID to untagged to have untagged traffic outgoing from the ONT port. 

    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("UC_IPTV")# user vid untagged

  • Step 7. Specify DBA parameters. To do this, create a dba profile and adjust the corresponding settings. We set a value of a guaranteed bandwidth in this example.

    LTP-8X(config)# profile dba AllServices 
    LTP-8X(config-dba)("AllServices")# bandwidth guaranteed 500

        T-CONT allocation scheme:                       share T-CONT with same profile
  • Step 9. Associate the bridge group with an ONT port. To do this, create a ports profile and set the bridge group parameter to 10 for the eth0 port and to 11 for the eth1 port. Set the rules of multicast traffic processing for port 1.

    LTP-8X(config)# profile ports Ports1 
    LTP-8X(config-ports)("Ports1")# port 0 bridge group 10 
    LTP-8X(config-ports)("Ports1")# port 1 bridge group 11

Tunnelling configuration

Usual profiles in the tag-mode, single-tag or double-tag modes are aimed at mapping the traffic, which is transmitted to the gem port and tagged as user vid or untagged, into the traffic tagged outer vid or outer:inner vid respectively.

Models 2 and 3 allow traffic tunnelling configuration, which extends the range of possible GPON applications in operator's network.

Using the profiles tagged as selective-tunnel allows a tag to be added to incoming packets with a certain set of user vid tags. The profiles tagged as tunnel allow a tag to be added to incoming packets with any user-vid tags.

Consider the following diagram and its configuration as an example.

VLAN 300 (multicast) and Q-in-Q VLAN 1100 and 1200 (Internet) come to the uplink OLT. It is necessary to let them pass to the switch integrated in the OLT via SFP-ONU. In addition, a corporate client is connected to the splitter via SFP-ONU that sends a random set of VLANs to be passed to remote devices after removing tags of these VLANs at the ONT LAN port. To organise a tunnel for this client, VLAN 500 is selected in the operator's network.

Consider the procedure of OLT configuration for the above diagram.

  • Step 1. Configure the switch.

    interface pon-port 0
      bridging to pon-port 1
    exit
    interface pon-port 1
      bridging to pon-port 0
    exit
    vlan 300
      name VLAN0300
      tagged pon-port 0 , front-port 0
    exit
    vlan 500
      name VLAN0500
      tagged pon-port 0 , pon-port 1 , front-port 0
    exit
    vlan 1100
      name VLAN1100
      tagged pon-port 0 , front-port 0
    exit
    vlan 1200
      name VLAN1200
      tagged pon-port 0 , front-port 0
    exit
  • Step 2. Configure cross-connect profiles.

    profile cross-connect "cc-tunnel" 
    bridge 
    bridge group "10" 
    tag-mode tunnel 
    exit 
    profile cross-connect "cc-selecttunnel" 
    bridge 
    bridge group "10" 
    tag-mode selective-tunnel 
    exit 
    profile cross-connect "cc-single" 
    bridge 
    bridge group "10" 
    user vid "300" 
    exit 
    profile cross-connect "cc-double" 
    bridge 
    bridge group "10" 
    tag-mode double-tagged 
    exit

  • Step 3. Configure ports profiles.

    profile ports "bridge-10"
    port    0 bridge group "10"
    exit
  • Step 4. Configure the address-table profile by specifying the VLANs used for tunnels and assign the profile to GPON ports. 

    profile address-table "at-tunnel"
    s-vlan 1100 use c-vlan
    s-vlan 1200 use c-vlan
    s-vlan 500 use c-vlan
    exit interface gpon-port    0
    profile address-table "at-tunnel"
    exit
    interface gpon-port    1
    profile address-table "at-tunnel"
    exit
  • Step 5. Configure the SFP-ONU to be used for switch connection. 

    interface ont 0/0
    serial "454C545300000001"
    password "default"
    service 0 profile cross-connect "cc-tunnel"
    service 0 profile dba "dba-00"
    service 1 profile cross-connect "cc-selecttunnel"
    service 1 profile dba "dba-00"
    service 2 profile cross-connect "cc-single"
    service 2 profile dba "dba-00"
    profile ports "bridge-10"
    service    0 custom svid "1100"
    service    1 custom svid "1200"
    service    1 selective-tunnel uvid 201-203
    service    2 custom svid "300"
  • Step 6. Configure the SFP-ONU to be used for connection of the corporate client. 

    interface ont 0/1
    serial "454C545300000002"
    service 0 profile cross-connect "cc-tunnel"
    service 0 profile dba "dba-00"
    profile ports "bridge-10"
    service    0 custom svid "500"

  • Step 7. Configure the ONTs to be used for connection of remote offices.

    interface ont 1/0
    serial "454C545800000002"
    service 0 profile cross-connect "cc-double"
    service 0 profile dba "dba-00"
    profile ports "bridge-10"
    service    0 custom cvid "10"
    service    0 custom svid "500"
    exit
    interface ont 1/1
    serial "454C545800000003"
    service 0 profile cross-connect "cc-double"
    service 0 profile dba "dba-00"
    profile ports "bridge-10"
    service    0 custom cvid "20"
    service    0 custom svid "500"

The number of UVIDs processed in all selective-tunnel services on one ONT should not exceed 42.

The VLANs used for tunnel services cannot be used for other types of services within one GPON channel.

The tunnel service is the last one to be configured on the ONT, therefore the user-vid used by other services will not be processed by the tunnel service.

The traffic with a random user-vid tag should not contain additional 802.1q tags. Otherwise, it will be declined by any service provided for this user-vid.

It is impossible to use double-tagged and tunnel services simultaneously on one terminal.

You can create up to 12 services on a single interface using tunnel or selective tunnel.

It is not recommended to use untagged traffic for tunnelling.

DBA configuration

This chapter considers DBA configuration for ONT.

GPON technology implies that all ONTs of one GPON channel use common communication medium (fibre). It is necessary to provide a mechanism that will ensure data transfer from all ONTs without collisions. The mechanism is called dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) and ensures allocation of time intervals in OLT for data transfer to ONTs.

A logical unit of the DBA algorithm is Alloc-ID (allocation) with a corresponding T-CONT (traffic counter) on the ONT side. Data transfer parameters (frequency, transmission window) are separately configured for every Alloc-ID (T-CONT) and are referred to as service level agreement (SLA).

G.984.3 provides several SLA combinations called T-CONT type. There are the following T-CONT types:

  • T-CONT type 1 with a fixed bandwidth only. It is suitable for traffic, which is transferred at a constant speed (or with very low variations) and is sensitive to delays and jitter.
  • T-CONT type 2 with a guaranteed bandwidth only. This type is suitable for bursty traffic with a well defined upper bound, without strict delay and jitter restrictions.
  • T-CONT type 3 is a counter with a guaranteed bandwidth and a possibility to allocate a best-effort bandwidth. This type is suitable for bursty traffic with peak values that requires a certain throughput to be guaranteed.
  • T-CONT type 4 allows allocation of a best-effort bandwidth without fixed or guaranteed bandwidths. This type is suitable for bursty traffic with peak values that does not require any guaranteed throughput.
  • T-CONT type 5 is a counter with fixed and guaranteed bandwidths and a possibility to allocate a best-effort bandwidth. This type summarises all other types and is suitable for most types of traffic.

The terminal allows configuration of up to 256 default allocations per channel. When one ONT is connected, at least one default allocation will be provided. Thus, when 128 subscribers are connected to a channel, 128 service allocations will be provided. The remaining 128 allocations will be enough to process data, but not enough to process more than one service in its own allocation. You need to follow the rule: Amax = 256/N – 1, where Amax — the maximum quantity of allocations for user data of an ONT, N — the quantity of ONTs on a channel. If the calculated amount of services exceeds ONT Amax, configure a combination of multiple services into a single allocation. For more detailed information, see Services in one T-CONT.

DBA parameters are configured in the dba profile. These parameters allow specification of any T-CONT type described in G.984.3. First of all, choose service-class to define the basic DBA algorithm. After that, configure status-reporting to define the type of ONT queues status report. The fixed-bandwidth, guaranteed-bandwidth, and besteffort-bandwidth parameters define the fixed, guaranteed, and best-effort bandwidth correspondingly. Table 28 shows the correspondence between the dba profile settings and T-CONT types.

The following rules apply to dba profile assignment:

  • when an ONT service is assigned a dba profile, an Alloc-ID is created for the ONT on the OLT side, and a corresponding T-CONT is configured on the ONT side.
  • if different ONTs are assigned the same profile, they will each have a separate Alloc-ID created with the same allocation parameters.
  • if the same dba profiles are assigned to different services of the same ONT with allocation-scheme share-t-cont, these services will work in the same allocation and have the same allocation parameters.
  • if the same dba profiles are assigned to different services of the same ONT with allocation-new-t-cont, these services will work in different allocations, and the number of Alloc-IDs created for the ONT equals the number of assigned dba profiles.

DBA global settings

Latency reduction mode

Enabling DBA latency reduction mode corrects the procedure of polling active allocations and activates redistribution of the fixed bandwidth between connected ONTs. The function is available for use on trees with any number of ONTs. 

There are two modes of DBA operation: Most demanding — the mode of the most demanding ONTs and Fair allocations — the mode of fair distribution. Most demanding mode splits the bandwidth in such a way that the ONT sending the most traffic to the upstream is a priority for DBA algorithms. In the case of Fair allocations, the bandwidth tends to be evenly distributed among all ONTs on the channel.

To enable this mode, use the following command.

LTP-8X# configure terminal
LTP-8X(config)# gpon olt dba-reduced-latency allocation-mode (most-demanding/fair-allocations)
LTP-8X(config)# do commit
LTP-8X(config)# do save

After applying the configuration, the OLT will be automatically reconfigured.

To disable latency reduction mode use the no command.

LTP-8X# configure terminal
LTP-8X(config)# no gpon olt dba-reduced-latency 
LTP-8X(config)# do commit
LTP-8X(config)# do save


Enabling this mode can lead to GPON port bandwidth reduction to 5–10 %.

DBA short cycle mode

Enabling this mode reduces DBA cycle for the indicated interfaces, which allows to optimize bandwidth allocation for trees with a small number of connected ONTs.

Below is a command for enabling DBA short cycle on 0,1 GPON ports. The mode is available on GPON ports pairs: 0–1, 2–3, 4–5, 6–7. For maximum effect, it is recommended to assign DBA profiles with the status-reporting type 0 parameter set to ONTs connected to gpon-ports with the dba-short-cycle function enabled. For more details on DBA profiles forming procedure, see DBA parameters configuration.

LTP-8X# configure terminal
LTP-8X(config)# gpon olt dba-short-cycle gpon-port 0-1
LTP-8X(config)# do commit
LTP-8X(config)# do save

After applying the configuration, the OLT will be automatically reconfigured.

To disable DBA short cycle mode use the no command.

LTP-8X# configure terminal
LTP-8X(config)# no gpon olt dba-short-cycle gpon-port 0-1
LTP-8X(config)# do commit
LTP-8X(config)# do save

Enabling this mode is not recommended for trees with more than 32 connected ONTs.

DBA profiles assignment

Services in different T-CONTs

Two Alloc-IDs will be allocated for ONTs in the OLT. Each service will operate in its allocation. There will be two T-CONTs on the ONT side corresponding to the allocations.

  • Step 1. Each ONT should have two services in different T-CONTs. To do this, assign two dba profiles by using the profile dba command.

    LTP-8X(config)# profile dba ServiceInternet 
    LTP-8X(config-dba)("ServiceInternet")# exit 
    LTP-8X(config)# profile dba ServiceVoIP 
    LTP-8X(config-dba)("ServiceVoIP")# exit
  • Step 2. Specify an individual allocations distribution scheme by using the allocation-scheme command.

    LTP-8X(config)# profile dba ServiceInternet 
    LTP-8X(config-dba)("ServiceInternet")#allocation-scheme allocate-new-t-cont 
    LTP-8X(config-dba)("ServiceInternet")# exit 
    LTP-8X(config)# profile dba ServiceVoIP 
    LTP-8X(config-dba)("ServiceVoIP")# allocation-scheme allocate-new-t-cont
    LTP-8X(config-dba)("ServiceVoIP")# exit
  • Step 3. Assign the profiles to services by using the service <id> profile dba command.

    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/0)# service 0 profile dba ServiceInternet 
    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/0)# service 1 profile dba ServiceVoIP

    The configuration will be as follows:

    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/0)# do show interface ont 0/0 configuration
    ...
        Service [0]:
            Profile cross connect:         ServiceInternet       ONT Profile Cross Connect 0
            Profile dba:                   AllServices           ONT Profile DBA 3
            Custom cross connect:          disabled
        Service [1]:
            Profile cross connect:         ServiceVoIP           ONT Profile Cross Connect 1
            Profile dba:                   AllServices           ONT Profile DBA 3
            Custom cross connect:          disabled
    ...
  • Step 4. Apply the changes by using the commit command.

    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/0)# do commit

Services in one T-CONT

One Alloc-ID will be allocated for ONTs in the OLT. Each ONT will have one T-CONT configured. The T-CONT will be used to transfer traffic from multiple services. Traffic priority will be based on the value of the priority queue field of the corresponding cross-connect profiles.

  • Step 1. Each ONT should have three services in one T-CONT. To do this, assign a dba profile by using the profile dba command.

    LTP-8X(config)# profile dba AllServices
  • Step 2. Each ONT should have all services in one T-CONT. To do this, specify an allocation scheme by using the allocation-scheme command.

    LTP-8X(config-dba)("AllServices")# allocation-scheme share-t-cont
  • Step 3. Assign the profile to three services by using the service <id> profile dba command.

    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/1)# service 0 profile dba AllServices 
    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/1)# service 1 profile dba AllServices 
    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/1)# service 2 profile dba AllServices

    The configuration will be as follows:

    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/1)# do show interface ont 0/1 configuration
    ...
        Service [0]:
            Profile cross connect:         ServiceInternet       ONT Profile Cross Connect 0
            Profile dba:                   AllServices           ONT Profile DBA 3
            Custom cross connect:          disabled
    	Service [1]:
            Profile cross connect:         ServiceVoIP           ONT Profile Cross Connect 1
            Profile dba:                   AllServices           ONT Profile DBA 3
            Custom cross connect:          disabled
        Service [2]:
            Profile cross connect:         ServiceIPTV           ONT Profile Cross Connect 2
            Profile dba:                   AllServices           ONT Profile DBA 3
            Custom cross connect:          disabled
    ...
  • Step 4. Apply the changes by using the commit command.

    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/1)# do commit

One profile for multiple ONTs

This is a typical scenario in most cases, when similar services require the same DBA parameters on different ONTs.

  • Step 1. Define a dba profile by using the profile dba command.

    LTP-8X(config)# profile dba ServiceInternet
  • Step 2. Assign the profile to the corresponding service of every ONT by using the service <id> profile dba command.

    LTP-8X(config)# interface ont 0/0-1 
    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/0-1)# service 0 profile dba ServiceInternet

    ONT configurations will be as follows:

    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/0-1)# do show interface ont 0/0-1 configuration
    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/0-1)# do show interface ont 0/0-1 configuration

            Custom cross connect:          disabled
    ...
  • Step 3. Apply the changes by using the commit command.

    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/0-1)# do commit

Profiles assignment example

Consider two ONTs, which need to have the following three services: Internet, VoIP, SecurityAlarm. The VoIP service should operate in a separate allocation (a definite throughput should be ensured). The Internet and SecurityAlarm services may operate in one allocation.

This configuration implies that the OLT allocates two Alloc-IDs to each ONT. The Internet and SecurityAlarm services operate in one allocation, the VoIP service uses another one. Each ONT has two T-CONTs configured, which correspond to the Alloc-IDs of the ONT. Traffic priority between the Internet and SecurityAlarm services on the ONT side is based on the "priority-queue" value of the ServiceInternet and ServiceAlarm cross-connect profiles, which were assigned to the services.

The Internet and SecurityAlarm services require calculation of SLA parameters. This is done by adding the appropriate parameters for both services. Below is an example of SLA parameters calculation.

  • Step 1. Define two dba profiles by using the profile dba command.

    LTP-8X(config)# profile dba ServiceVoIP 
    LTP-8X(config-dba)("ServiceVoIP")# exit 
    LTP-8X(config)# profile dba OtherServices
  • Step 2. Specify an individual allocations distribution scheme by using the allocation-scheme command.

    LTP-8X(config)# profile dba ServiceVoIP 
    LTP-8X(config-dba)("ServiceVoIP")# allocation-scheme allocate-new-t-cont 
    LTP-8X(config-dba)("ServiceVoIP")# exit 
    LTP-8X(config)# profile dba OtherServices 
    LTP-8X(config-dba)("OtherServices")# exit
  • Step 3. Assign the profiles to the corresponding services of every ONT by using the service <id> profile dba command.

    LTP-8X(config)# interface ont 0/0-1 
    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/0-1)# service 0 profile dba OtherServices 
    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/0-1)# service 1 profile dba ServiceVoIP 
    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/0-1)# service 2 profile dba OtherServices

T-CONT type 1 configuration

Consider configuration of a 100 Mbps fixed bandwidth.

  • Step 1. Specify a T-CONT type by using the sla class command.

    LTP-8X(config)# profile dba dba-00 
    LTP-8X(config-dba)("dba-00")# sla class cbr

Shaping configuration

This chapter describes how to configure Shaping profile for an ONT.

A shaping profile allows limiting a downstream and upstream bandwidth for a specified ONT. 

Downstream restriction in OLT uses the downstream policer algorithm. The restriction can either use one policer for all services or individual policers for each separate service.

Upstream restriction in ONT uses the upstream shaping algorithm. It is possible to use either a single policer for all services simultaneously or different policers for each service separately.

Shaping parameters configuration

Downstream policer configuration

You need to configure a bandwidth limit of 100 Mbps for all services.

The total bandwidth for all services is limited by the value set for 0 service.

  • Step 1. Enable one-policer.

    LTP-8X(config)# profile shaping shaping-00 
    LTP-8X(config-shaping)("shaping-00")# downstream one-policer
  • Step 2. Enable policer for necessary services.

    LTP-8X(config-shaping)("shaping-00")# downstream policer 0 enable 
    LTP-8X(config-shaping)("shaping-00")# downstream policer 1 enable 
    LTP-8X(config-shaping)("shaping-00")# downstream policer 2 enable 
    LTP-8X(config-shaping)("shaping-00")# downstream policer 3 enable
  • Step 3. Specify parameters of a fixed band for service 0.

    LTP-8X(config-shaping)("shaping-00")# downstream policer 0 peak-rate 100000

    For disabling limiting of bandwidth for all services and enable limiting separately, disable downstream one-police and set downstream policer peak-rate for required services.

Upstream shaping configuration

Shaping allows limiting all types of traffic for services by bandwidth or set different values of bandwidth for each type separately.

There is an opportunity to limit bandwidth for multicast and broadcast traffic separately. In this case unicast traffic will be limited by the global value. If you set the limit for unicast traffic, you should set limits for multicast and broadcast traffic as well. Otherwise, multicast and broadcast traffic will not be limited at all. 

For the correct bandwidth limiting, different DBA profiles should be assigned for each service.

  • Step 1. Enable shaping for required services and set commited-rate and peak-rate values for global limiting.

    LTP-8X(config-shaping)("shaping-00")# upstream 0 enable 
    LTP-8X(config-shaping)("shaping-00")# upstream 0 commited-rate 100000 
    LTP-8X(config-shaping)("shaping-00")# upstream 0 peak-rate 110000

    If you stop configuring on this step, all the traffic of service 0 will be limited by the commited-rate value.

  • Step 2. Enable shaping for different traffic types.

    LTP-8X(config-shaping)("shaping-00")# upstream multicast 0 enable 
    LTP-8X(config-shaping)("shaping-00")# upstream broadcast 0 enable 
    LTP-8X(config-shaping)("shaping-00")# upstream unicast 0 enable
  • Step 3. Specify parameters of fixed bandwidth for each traffic type for service 0.

    LTP-8X(config-shaping)("shaping-00")# upstream multicast 0 commited-rate 500 
    LTP-8X(config-shaping)("shaping-00")# upstream multicast 0 peak-rate 600 
    LTP-8X(config-shaping)("shaping-00")# upstream broadcast 0 commited-rate 500 
    LTP-8X(config-shaping)("shaping-00")# upstream broadcast 0 peak-rate 600 
    LTP-8X(config-shaping)("shaping-00")# upstream unicast 0 commited-rate 100000 
    LTP-8X(config-shaping)("shaping-00")# upstream unicast 0 peak-rate 100000

    The bandwidth has a throughput in Kbps (1000 bps), which is rounded down to 64 Kbps.

    For NTU-1, the algorithm of bandwidth limiting in upstream is different:

    • traffic types are independent: if the limit of unicast traffic is set, multicast and broadcast traffic will be limited by the global value;
    • in case the global value is specified as well as values for different traffic types, the limit for different traffic types will be implemented first, then limiting by the global value;
    • the traffic for all services is limited by the value set for service 0.
      Similarly, you can configure the bandwidth for other services.

Configuration of Storm-control in the upsteram direction

To protect against «storms» arising in the pon part of the OLT, you can use the advanced functionality of the shaping profile.

Configuration example to limit bc and mc traffic is given below. The limit is set in the number of packets per second. If necessary, you can provide event logging when the threshold is exceeded, perform ONT blocking*, or do both.

LTP-8X(config-shaping)("shaping-00")# upstream broadcast storm-control rate-limit 100 logging shutdown 
LTP-8X(config-shaping)("shaping-00")# upstream multicast storm-control rate-limit 100 logging shutdown

*The blocking time is set in the global configuration with the following command.

LTP-8X(config)# gpon olt ont-block-time 1

The time is specified in minutes.

RG ONT

This chapter considers issues related to configuration of Residential Gateway (RG) ONTs. The chapter introduces the notion of Bridged and Routed services.

Consider the concept of OMCI and RG management domains. These terms are determined in TR-142 Issue 2. In terms of management domains, an ONT is considered as a device, which operates in the OMCI domain only. The devices, which operate in both management domains (i. e. have an integrated router), are denoted as ONT/RG. Everything that refers to the OMCI domain can be applied to both ONT and ONT/RG devices. For this reason, we will further denote ONT/RG as ONT. If an ONT is configured without the RG domain (without a router), skip all steps concerning RG.

Figure below shows an ONT/RG scheme and its management domains.

image093.png
Figure 41 — ONT/RG management domains

Bridged service is a service, which configuration requires the OMCI management domain only, i. e. it can be completely configured with the help of the OMCI protocol in ONT.

Routed service is a service, which configuration requires both the OMCI and RG management domains.

In addition to configuration in terminal, a routed service requires the RG domain to be configured by using one of the following methods:

  1. Pre-defined configuration — subscriber is provided with an ONT having fixed configuration.
  2. Local ONT configuration using WEB interface.
  3. ONT configuration using the TR-069 protocol and auto configuration server (ACS).

Contact ONT vendor for information about RG domain configuration.

ONT is connected to RG using a Virtual Ethernet interface point (VEIP), which corresponds to the TR-069 WAN interface (described in TR-098) on the RG side. VEIP is represented by a virtual port in terminal parameters. The port has the same configuration procedure as Ethernet ports in the ports profile.



Figure 42 — Services configuration in ONT and RG domains

Figure above shows two services (each with a corresponding GEM port on the ONT side), with one of them being routed and using both the OMCI and RG management domains and the other one being bridged and using only OMCI for configuration. Terminal configuration includes configuration of bridge interfaces (green areas in the figure) and distribution of LAN ports between the management domains.
The bridge parameter of the cross-connect profile is responsible for association of a service with a management domain. Being set, the bridge parameter creates a bridged service (the bridge group parameter is the bridge number in this case). When no bridge is set, a routed service is created (there is only one bridge associated with RG; it has a special bridge number—0).

Mixed configuration

Consider an example of ONT configuration, which simultaneously uses both management domains. Port numbers and the internal structure are shown in Figure 42.

  • Step 1. Create a VLAN for services on the switch. VLAN configuration is described in detail in VLAN configuration.

    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# vlan 20 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-vlan)# tagged front-port 0 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-vlan)# tagged pon-port 0 – 1 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-vlan)# exit 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# vlan 30 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-vlan)# tagged front-port 0 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config-vlan)# tagged pon-port 0 – 1
  • Step 2. Specify 3 as a service model value corresponding to the «VLAN for Service» model by using the gpon olt model command.

    LTP-8X# configure terminal 
    LTP-8X(config)# gpon olt model 3

  • Step 3. Define cross-connect profiles for services.

    LTP-8X(config)# profile cross-connect RG-service 
    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("RG-service")# exit 
    LTP-8X(config)# profile cross-connect OMCI-service
  • Step 4. Define a dba profile. DBA parameters are not important for the purposes of this chapter. Thus, we will not configure these parameters, just use the default values. We will also assign one profile to both services that means that upstream services will operate with one T-CONT. DBA configuration is described in detail in DBA configuration.

    LTP-8X(config)# profile dba basic 
    LTP-8X(config-dba)("basic")# exit
  • Step 5. Create ports profile.

    LTP-8X(config)# profile ports 2RG-2OMCI 
    LTP-8X(config-ports)("2RG-2OMCI")# exit
  • Step 6. Configure a routed service. Use one VLAN 20 on both the OLT and ONT sides. Specify a routed service by using the no bridge command. Configure a cross-connect profile for the routed service.

    LTP-8X(config)# profile cross-connect RG-service 
    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("RG-service")# no bridge 
    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("RG-service")# type general 
    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("RG-service")# tag-mode single-tagged 
    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("RG-service")# outer vid 20 
    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("RG-service")# outer cos unused 
    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("RG-service")# user vid untagged 
    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("RG-service")# mac-table-limit unlimited 
    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("RG-service")# priority 0
  • Step 7. Configure a bridged service. Use one VLAN 30 on both the OLT and ONT sides. Specify a bridged service by using the bridge command. Set 1 as the OMCI bridge number. Configure a cross-connect profile for the bridged service.

    LTP-8X(config)# profile cross-connect OMCI-service 
    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("OMCI-service")# bridge 
    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("OMCI-service")# bridge group 1 
    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("OMCI-service")# type general 
    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("OMCI-service")# tag-mode single-tagged 
    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("OMCI-service")# outer vid 30 
    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("OMCI-service")# outer cos unused 
    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("OMCI-service")# user vid untagged 
    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("OMCI-service")# mac-table-limit unlimited 
    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("OMCI-service")# priority 1

    You specified different priority queue values for the services. The routed service will have a higher priority than the bridged service as they work with one T-CONT.

  • Step 8. Configure a ports profile. According to Figure 41, we need to associate the first two LAN ports with the RG management domain, while the other two should be associated with the OMCI domain and bound to bridge 1.

    LTP-8X(config)# profile ports 2RG-2OMCI 
    LTP-8X(config-ports)("2RG-2OMCI")# port 0 bridge group 0 
    LTP-8X(config-ports)("2RG-2OMCI")# port 1 bridge group 0 
    LTP-8X(config-ports)("2RG-2OMCI")# port 2 bridge group 1 
    LTP-8X(config-ports)("2RG-2OMCI")# port 3 bridge group 1
  • Step 9. Set the ONT configuration. ONT management is described in detail in Service Models.

    LTP-8X(config)# interface ont 0/0
  • Step 10. Assign the created profiles. Assign the cross-connect RG-service profile to service 0 and the cross-connect OMCI-service profile to service 1.

    LTP-8X(config)# serial ELTX10203040 
    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/0)# service 0 profile cross-connect RG-service 
    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/0)# service 0 profile dba basic 
    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/0)# service 1 profile cross-connect OMCI-service 
    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/0)# service 1 profile dba basic 
    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/0)# profile ports 2RG-2OMCI
  • Step 11. Use the show interface ont <id> configuration command to check the created configuration.

    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/0-1)# do show interface ont 0/0-1 configuration

  • Step 12. Apply changes by the commit command.

    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/0)# do commit

As a result, you will have the mixed configuration of the ONT. One of the services is managed completely by the OMCI domain (the bridged service), LAN2 and LAN3 ports on the ONT are connected as bridges. The second service is managed by both OMCI and RG (the routed service; the RG domain can be configured, for instance, through the WEB interface on the ONT). LAN0 and LAN1 ports are connected to RG ONT.

High Speed Internet configuration

Configuration of High Speed Internet (HSI) does not have any peculiarities and can be easily performed as described in Service Models.
Correct operation of IPv6 requires to do the following:

  • specify the multicast type when creating a cross-connect profile;
  • enable multicast passing on the necessary port (0-4 and/or veip) in the ports profile.

Example of a routed configuration:

LTP-8X(config)# profile cross-connect ipv6 
LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("ipv6")# outer vid 300 
LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("ipv6")# user vid 300 
LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("ipv6")# type multicast 
LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("ipv6")# exit

Multicast configuration

The chapter describes peculiarities of IPTV service configuration.

Hosts and routers use the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) to support multicasting. It provides all systems of a physical network with relevant information: which hosts are included in groups and which group corresponds to a host.

IGMP snooping is a technique that allows network devices of the channel level (switches) to snoop IGMP requests from hosts to a group router in order to decide whether group traffic transmission to the corresponding interfaces should be started or stopped. When a switch snoops a host's IGMP request for connection to a multicast group, it adds the port the host is connected to into the group (for group traffic retranslation). Having snooped a leave_group request, the switch removes the corresponding port from the group.

Figure 43 — IGMP snooping is disabled

Figure above shows traffic multicasting regardless of whether an end host needs the traffic or not. When IGMP snooping is enabled, the multicasting situation changes as follows: the switch will analyse all IGMP packets between connected devices and the routers the multicast traffic comes from. When the switch receives a consumer's IGMP request for connection to a multicast group, it adds the port the consumer is connected to into the group. And vice versa, having received a request for leaving a group, the switch removes the corresponding port from the group.

image099.png
Figure 44 — IGMP snooping is enabled

As you can see from the Figure 44, LTP-8X with enabled IGMP snooping translates multicast traffic only to the hosts, which are members of the IGMP group.
IGMP proxy is an IGMP client and group router at the same time (IGMP router). On the one hand, proxy requests an upstream router for group channels; on the other hand, it receives join/leave requests from hosts and replicates upstream traffic to the corresponding interfaces.

Model 1 Multicast configuration

Consider configuration of a multicast service for Model 1.

An STB, which works in VLAN 14, is connected to an ONT port in this example. Upstream IGMP packets arrive to VLAN 14 though a GEM port and the OLT changes VLAN 14 to subscriber's VLAN 200.
As we have a multicast server in VLAN 98 in our example, we need to configure a proxy on the switch to translate IGMP packets from VLAN 200 to VLAN 98 (for more information, see VLAN configuration). The multicast service comes downstream to the ONT port in VLAN 98 and changes to VLAN 14.

For more information on general configuration principles of data communication channels, see Service Models.

  • Step 1. Specify the ONT serial number in the configuration.

    LTP-8X# configure terminal 
    LTP-8X(config)# interface ont 0/0 
    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/0)# serial ELTX01234567 
    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/0)# exit
  • Step 2. Assign a service model.

    LTP-8X(config)# gpon olt model 1
  • Step 3. Create an UsIGMP cross-connect profile to configure the service, which will be used to send IGMP requests upstream. Configure a bridged service and specify the bridge group (it equals 1 in our example) the ONT port will be associated with; specify U-VLAN 14.

  • Step 4. Associate the bridge group with an ONT port. To do this, create a ports profile and assign value 1 to the bridge group parameter for the LAN1 port.

    LTP-8X(config)# profile ports Ports1 
    LTP-8X(config-ports)("Ports1")# port 1 bridge group 1
  • Step 5. Enable multicasting and configure VLAN replacement rules for the ONT port.

    LTP-8X(config-ports)("Ports1")# port 1 multicast 
    LTP-8X(config-ports)("Ports1")# port 1 igmp downstream vid 14

    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# ip igmp proxy report range 224.0.0.0 239.255.255.255 from 200 to 98 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# ip igmp snooping 
    LTP-8X(switch)(config)# commit

Model 3 Multicast configuration

Consider configuration of a multicast service for Model 3.

The multicast service operates in VLAN 98 in the example below, an STB operating in VLAN 14 is connected to an ONT port. Upstream IGMP packets come to VLAN 14 in the ONT, where VLAN 14 is replaced with the service VLAN 98, and then the data is further transferred upstream through the GEM port. The multicast service comes downstream to the ONT port in VLAN 98 and changes to VLAN 14. For more information on general configuration principles of data communication channels, see Service Models.

VoIP configuration

The chapter describes peculiarities of VoIP service configuration. The terminal supports several methods of VoIP configuration:

  • VoIP Configuration in OMCI management domain;
  • VoIP configuration in the RG management domain.

A method is chosen based on service model and ONT functionality.

VoIP Configuration in OMCI management domain

VoIP is a special bridged service. It has all general properties of a bridged service. Operator's actions required for services configuration are described in detail in ONT configuration.

As opposed to other bridge services, VoIP requires the iphost type in the cross-connect profile to terminate traffic in internal virtual IP interface. That also requires the Iphost eid parameter to be specified. As a rule, it should equal 1. Contact your ONT vendor for information about the Iphost eid value for the VoIP.

  • Step 1. Configure a cross-connect profile to be used as VoIP.

    LTP-8X(config)# profile cross-connect VoIP 
    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("VoIP")# bridge 
    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("VoIP")# type iphost 
    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("VoIP")# bridge group 2 
    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("VoIP")# iphost eid 1
  • Step 2. Check the changes made.

    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("VoIP")# do show profile cross-connect VoIP
    ...
        Type:                                              iphost
        IP host index:                                     1
        Priority queue:                                    0
  • Step 3. Apply the changes by using the commit command.

    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("VoIP")# do commit

VoIP configuration in RG management domain

In case the VoIP client is located after the U point (i. e. in the RG management domain), the VoIP service has the same configuration procedure as all other routed services. The procedure is described in detail in ONT configuration. All the general steps of service configuration are applied to VoIP as well.

Configuration of management via TR-069

This chapter describes configuration of a data communication channel for the CPE management service via the TR-069 protocol.

An ONT management channel can be established in one of the two modes: Inband and OutOfBand. Inband is the preferred mode as it is simpler. Contact your ONT vendor for information about operation capabilities of both modes. 

ONT management via TR-069 is a special service. All general steps of service configuration apply to TR-069 management. Operator's actions required for services configuration are described in detail in ONT configuration.
As opposed to other services, the management service requires the management type in the cross-connect profile. You also need to specify the Iphost eid parameter. As a rule, it should equal 0.

Configuration of a TR-069 Inband management

This mode is characterised by its simple implementation. Management traffic goes through the same bridge as user traffic. Figure below shows a part of the OMCI layout. Arrows show the traffic flow.

  • Step 1. Set the management type in the cross-connect profile.

    LTP-8X(config)# profile cross-connect TR069 
    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("TR069")# type management
  • Step 2. Set the ont-rg model in the cross-connect profile.

    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("TR069")# no bridge
  • Step 3. Set the IP Host identifier to 0.

    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("TR069")# iphost eid 0
  • Step 4. Check the changes made with the show profile cross-connect command.

Configuration of a TR-069 OOB management channel

Not all ONT vendors support creation of Inband management channels via TR-069. To solve this, a capability to create an OutOfBand management channel was developed as an alternative. The main peculiarity of the mode is the use of a separate bridge for management. See a part of the OMCI layout below. Arrows show the traffic flow.

image107.png
Figure 48 — TR-069 OutOfband management channel

  • Step 1. Set the management type in the cross-connect profile.

    LTP-8X(config)# profile cross-connect TR069 
    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("TR069")# type management
  • Step 2. Set the ont model in the cross-connect profile. Specify a separate bridge-group.

    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("TR069")# bridge 
    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("TR069")# bridge group 20
  • Step 3. Set the IP Host identifier to 0.

    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("TR069")# iphost eid 0

  • Step 4. Check the changes by using the show profile cross-connect command.

TR-069 client parameters configuration

To configure TR-069 client parameters, use the management profile.

LTP-8X# show profile management management-00 
    Name:                                              'management-00'
    Description:                                       'ONT Profile Management 0'
    Enable omci configuration:                         true
    Url:                                               ''
    Username:                                          ''
    Password:                                          ''

In case when the DHCP server transmits the TR-069 parameters via option 43, there is no need to transfer them via OMCI. Disable this phase with the no omci-configuration command.

Otherwise, specify TR-069 client parameters explicitly.

  • Step 1. Enable TR-069 configuration.

    LTP-8X(config)# profile management management-00 
    LTP-8X(config-management)("management-00")# omci-configuration
  • Step 2. Specify the connection parameters.

    LTP-8X(config-management)("management-00")# url http://acs.tele.com:9595/acs
    LTP-8X(config-management)("management-00")# username acs
    LTP-8X(config-management)("management-00")# password acsacs

  • Step 3. Check the changes made.

    LTP-8X(config-management)("management-00")# do show profile management management-00 
        Name:                                              'management-00'

ONT configuration templates

It is not always convenient, especially for large-scale operators, to build ONT configuration from separate profiles for each subscriber. This process is painstaking and risky in a certain sense, as it is highly prone to operator error.

As a rule, such companies employ at least one service plan with pre-defined ONT profiles. This section describes ONT templates, an effective solution to simplify the work of subscriber service specialists.

The essence of configuration templates is simple. Network administrator prepares required quantity of templates for the quantity of service plans. Configuration template contains detailed profile list and a set of ONT parameters. Subscriber service specialist or OSS/BSS system assigns the template to an ONT and identifies additional configuration parameters if necessary. As a rule, configuration assignment is performed in "one click" or by using one command.

Preparing ONT configuration template

  • Step 1. Define an ONT configuration template.

    LTP-8X(config)# template HSI-100-CaTV 
    LTP-8X(ont-template)("HSI-100-CaTV")#
  • Step 2. Set the ONT configuration. Template configuration does not have any peculiarities and exactly follows the ONT configuration process described in ONT configuration.

    LTP-8X(ont-template)("HSI-100-CaTV")# service 0 profile dba AllServices 
    LTP-8X(ont-template)("HSI-100-CaTV")# service 0 profile cross-connect Service1 
    LTP-8X(ont-template)("HSI-100-CaTV")# service 1 profile dba AllServices 
    LTP-8X(ont-template)("HSI-100-CaTV")# service 1 profile cross-connect Service2 
    LTP-8X(ont-template)("HSI-100-CaTV")# profile ports Ports1

  • Step 3. Disable all configuration parameters that should be specified explicitly for the ONT with the undefine command, if necessary.

    LTP-8X(ont-template)("HSI-100-CaTV")# undefine rf-port-state
  • Step 4. Apply the changes.

    LTP-8X(ont-template)("HSI-100-CaTV")# do commit

ONT configuration template assignment

  • Step 1. Switch to the ONT view. You can use a range of ONT IDs for group operations if necessary.

    LTP-8X(config)# interface ont 0/0-10 
    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/0-10)#
  • Step 2. Assign an ONT configuration template by using the template command.

    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/0-10)# template HSI-100-CaTV
  • Step 3. Define individual ONT parameters not specified in the template if necessary.

    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/0-10)# rf-port-state enabled
  • Step 4. Apply the changes.

    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/0-10)# do commit

ONT configuration preview with templates

You can view the ONT configuration using the same command: show interface ont <id> configuration. You can distinguish the template parameters from the general ones by [T](Template) markers. In this example, Rf port state is the only general parameter.

ONT ports management 

This chapter describes Ethernet ports management via OMCI. 

The ability to enable/disable Ethernet ports on connected ONT was implemented, as well as ability to manage and control Poe on ONT as power supply. 

In case of PoE support from ONT side, it is possible to control ports:

  • enabling/disabling PoE on ports;
  • power classes control;
  • priority configuration.

All these attributes are transmitted via OMCI (ITU-T G.988 ME 11 "PPTP Ethernet UNI").

Ethernet ports management on ONT

Ethernet ports management on ONT means enabling/disabling the port and performed by [no] port <port number> shutdown command, where <port number> is the number of "0-3" port. 

Step 1. To disable Ethernet port, do the following commands.

LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/0)# port 0 shutdown
LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/0)# do commit


Step 2. Make sure that changes has been applied, to do that, run the command.

LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/0)# do show interface ont 0/0 configuration
...
 	Ports:
 		Port [0]:
 			shutdown: true
 			PoE:
 				Enable: false
 				Pse class control: 0
 				Power priority: high
 		Port [1]:
 			shutdown: false
 			PoE:
 				Enable: true
 				Pse class control: 0
 				Power priority: high
...


Step 3. To enable Ethernet port, do the following commands.

LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/0)# no port 0 shutdown
LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/0)# do commit

PoE management on ONT ports

PoE management on ONT ports is performed using port <port number> poe enable pseclass-control <class> power-priority <level> command, where 

  • <port number> –"0–3" port number,
  • <class> – "0–5" power class,
  • <level> – "critical/high/low" priority level.

Enabling PoE on ONT ports

To enable PoE on ONT ports, do the following: 

LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/0)# port 0 poe enable
LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/0)# do commit

Power class control

ONT firmware update

This chapter describes different methods of ONT firmware update using the OMCI protocol.

ONT firmware update download

ONT firmware update can run automatically for all ONTs or for a specified ONT. To start the update, download a firmware update file to the line terminal. To download the file, use the copy command and specify the file name and the address of the TFTP server as arguments.

LTP-8X# copy ftp://user:pass@10.54.16.1/ntp-rg-r3.24.1.854.fw.bin.bin fs://ont-firmware

ONT firmware custom update

To update firmware of a specified ONT, you need to create a corresponding task and specify the ONT ID and the firmware file name. There are two types of ONT firmware update tasks: single try or multiple tries.

To create a single try update task, use the update ont command and specify the ONT ID and the file name of the firmware.

LTP-8X# update ont 0/0 filename ntp-rg-r3.24.1.854.fw.bin
Task for updated successfully created. ONT firmware will be updated in 20 minutes or more

As a result, the single try update task will be created for the ONT having the specified serial number. This method is used to update the ONTs, which are in the OLT channel at the time of update. The task will end with an error for the ONTs, which are not connected.

To create a multiple tries update task, use a scheduler. This method is generally used to update the ONTs, which are not in the OLT channel at the time of the update. The tasks you create in the scheduler will be executed as soon as the corresponding ONT connects to the channel. To create, delete, or view tasks in the scheduler, use the schedule ont command. To create an ONT firmware update task, use the schedule ont update command and specify the ONT ID and the firmware update file.

LTP-8X# schedule ont update 0/0 ntp-rg-r3.24.1.854.fw.bin 
Task created for [ONT0/0]

To view scheduled tasks, use the show schedule ont update command.

LTP-8X# show schedule ont update Existing tasks (1):
##	Serial	Ch/ Id	Operation	Status	Tries remained
0	---	0/   0	ont_update	scheduled	5

You can delete some of the created tasks by using the no schedule ont update command and specifying the ONTs ID.

LTP-8X# no schedule ont update 0/0 
Task deleted for [ONT0/0]

To clear the scheduler, use the clear schedule ont update command.

LTP-8X# clear schedule ont update 
All tasks cleared

The tasks created in the scheduler will continue running until the update completes successfully or the number of tries is reached (the Tries remained parameter).

ONT firmware autoupdate

To enable firmware autoupdate for all ONTs, use the auto-update ont command and specify the update mode (immediate or postpone).

  • Step 1. Specify the FW ONT autoupdate mode. The immediate mode enables immediate firmware autoupdate for all connected ONTs. In the postpone mode, ONT firmware update will be performed only upon ONT connection.

    LTP-8X# config
    LTP-8X(config)# auto-update ont postpone
        Parameter was applied successfully

    You can view the set parameter by using the show auto-update ont command.

    LTP-8X(config)# do show auto-update ont 
        Auto-update ONT:postpone
  • Step 2. To enable ONT firmware autoupdate, specify update rules. Specify the ONT model, its current firmware version and the name of the firmware file to be flashed. To do this, use the auto-update ont record command.
    Create the update1 autoupdate rule. Pass the ONT type XXX, the current FW version YYY, and the file name ZZZ.bin as parameters.

    LTP-8X(config)# auto-update ont record update1 equipment-id TYPE fw-version match V1 filename V2.bin 
        Record was added successfully

    The match keyword indicates that the ONT version number should match the specified number, in this case YYY.
    To simplify the process and make it more convenient, you can create records to perform firmware autoupdate on ONTs, even when their firmware versions differ from the specified one. Use the non-match parameter when creating the rule.

    LTP-8X(config)# auto-update ont record update2 equipment-id TYPE  fw-version not-match V2  filename V2.bin 
        Record was added successfully

    As a result, the update2 record will be created in the table that will automatically update the ONT with the TYPE and the version not equal to V2 by installing the V2.bin file. This allows autoupdate of all ONTs to the required V2 version.

    If the table contains multiple records for one ONT type, autoupdate will be performed by the last rule for this ONT type.

  • Step 3. You can view the created records by using the show auto-update ont records command.

    LTP-8X(config)# do show auto-update ont records 
    Name  EquipmentID  FWVersion  FileName  Mode Downgrade
    update1 TYPE        V1        V2.bin   global   disable 
    update2 TYPE       !V2        V2.bin   postpone  enable 
  • Step 4. You can delete a created record by using the no auto-update ont record command and specifying the record name.

    LTP-8X(config)# no auto-update ont record update1 
    Record was deleted successfully

    To clear the record table, use the no auto-update ont records command.

    LTP-8X(config)# no auto-update ont records 
    Records cleared successfully

APPENDIX B. Configuring services on ONT Ericsson, Atron, CIG

Starting with version 3.36, ONT support has been added for Ericsson T063G, Ericsson T073G, Atron RFT620, Atron PSG590, CIG G-25A-J80. In service configuration on these ONTs, there are some features presented below.

VoIP configuration

To configure VoIP, you need to create two new profiles: cross-connect type voice, profile voice.

  • Step 1. Create required profiles.

    LTP-8X(config)# profile cross-connect "VOICE-ERCS"
    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("VOICE-ERCS")# description "For VOICE ont Ericsson"
    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("VOICE-ERCS")# bridge
    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("VOICE-ERCS")# bridge group "5"
    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("VOICE-ERCS")# outer vid 354
    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("VOICE-ERCS")# user vid 354
    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("VOICE-ERCS")# type "voice"
    LTP-8X(config-cross-connect)("VOICE-ERCS")# exit
    LTP-8X(config)# profile voice "voice-00-ERCS"
    LTP-8X(config-voice)("voice-00-ERCS")# sip proxy "123.test.ru"
    LTP-8X(config-voice)("voice-00-ERCS")# sip outbound-proxy "172.20.20.201"
    LTP-8X(config-voice)("voice-00-ERCS")# sip domain "123.test.ru"
    LTP-8X(config-voice)("voice-00-ERCS")# exit
  • Step 2. Assign profiles to ONT and configure additional VoIP data.

    LTP-8X(config)# interface ont 0/2
    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/2)# service 0 profile cross-connect "VOICE-ERCS" dba "dba-00"
    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/2)# profile voice "voice-00-ERCS"
    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/2)# voice port 0 number "402153"
    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/2)# voice port 0 authentication username "402153"
    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/2)# voice port 0 authentication password "QFxy2EzfVdrL1"
  • Step 3. If necessary, configure Value Added Services for the ONT.

    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/2)# voice fax-mode t38
    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/2)# voice features call-presentation special-dialtone
    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/2)# voice features call-presentation visual
    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/2)# voice features call-presentation call-forward
    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/2)# voice features call-progress 3way
    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/2)# voice features call-progress transfer
    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/2)# voice features call-progress hold
    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/2)# voice features call-progress park
    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/2)# voice features call-progress emergency-hold
    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/2)# voice features call-progress 6way
    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/2)# voice features call-wait enable
    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/2)# voice features call-wait call-id-annonce
    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/2)# voice features cid call-number
    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/2)# voice features cid call-name
    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/2)# voice features cid cid-number
    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/2)# voice features cid cid-name
  • Step 4. Apply the changes.

    LTP-8X(config)(if-ont-0/2)# do commit
